One way therefore to increase persuasion would seem to be to selectively activate the right prefrontal cortex.

While divergent thinking was associated with bilateral activation of the prefrontal cortex, schizotypal individuals were found to have much greater activation of their right prefrontal cortex.

According to neuroimaging data, PET studies on recall and recognition have consistently found increases in regional cerebral blood flow ( RCBF ) in the following six brain regions: ( 1 ) the prefrontal cortex, particularly on the right hemisphere ; ( 2 ) the hippocampal and parahippocampal regions of the medial temporal lobe ; ( 3 ) the anterior cingulate cortex ; ( 4 ) the posterior midline area that includes posterior cingulate, retrosplenial ( see retrosplenial region ), precuneus, and cuneus regions ; ( 5 ) the inferior parietal cortex, especially on the right hemisphere ; and ( 6 ) the cerebellum, particularly on the left. Hippocampus highlighted in red

) In one demonstration of this effect, discounting of arguments with which one disagrees ( by judging them as untrue or irrelevant ) was decreased by selective activation of right prefrontal cortex.

For example, PET scans have shown that when subjects, seated in a room, imagine they are at their front door starting to walk either to the left or right, activation begins in the visual association cortex, the parietal cortex, and the prefrontal cortex-all higher cognitive processing centers of the brain.

Other factors are believed to be relevant to language processing and verbal fluency, such as cortical thickness, participation of prefrontal areas of the cortex, and communication between right and left hemispheres.

During these procedures, sites of brain activation include the prefrontal cortex, specifically the right dorsolateral, ventrolateral, and medial regions, as well as the median frontal lobe.

Additionally, chronic pain has been reported to significantly reduce the volume of grey matter in the brain globally, and more specifically at the prefrontal cortex and right thalamus.

When individuals detect a change, the neural networks of the parietal and right dorsolateral prefrontal lobe regions are strongly activated.

However, it is known that cortisone impairs memory function by reducing the blood flow in the right parahippocampal gyrus, left visual cortex, and the Cerebellum.

Furthermore, it has been seen that, in MIT, individuals with small lesions in the left hemisphere seem to recover by activation of the left hemisphere perilesional cortex, while, in individuals with larger left-hemisphere lesions, there is a recruitment of the use of language-capable regions in the right hemisphere.

For bicameral humans, when habit did not suffice to handle novel stimuli and stress rose at the moment of decision, neural activity in the " dominant " ( left ) hemisphere was modulated by auditory verbal hallucinations originating in the so-called " silent " ( right ) hemisphere ( particularly the right temporal cortex ), which were heard as the voice of a chieftain or god and immediately obeyed.

A study investigating structural changes in the brains of people with psychosis showed there was significant grey matter reduction in the right medial temporal, lateral temporal, and inferior frontal gyrus, and in the cingulate cortex bilaterally of people before and after they became psychotic.

They also attributed his lack of problems to extensive compensatory mechanisms enabled by neural plasticity in the nearby cerebral cortex and a shift of some functions to the homologous area in the right hemisphere.

The rat receives remote stimulation in the sensorimotor cortex via its backpack that causes the rat to feel a sensation in its left or right whiskers, and stimulation in the MFB that is interpreted as a reward or pleasure.

For example the right primary somatosensory cortex receives information from the left limbs, and the right visual cortex receives information from the left visual field.

Because of the multiple genes that are missing in people with Williams syndrome, there are many effects on the brain, including abnormalities in the cerebellum, right parietal cortex, and left frontal cortical regions.

The recognition of emotion may also utilize the occipitotemporal neocortex, orbitofrontal cortex and right frontoparietal cortices.
