The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is a part of the prefrontal cortex in the mammalian brain. The ventral medial prefrontal is located in the frontal lobe at the bottom of the cerebral hemispheres and is implicated in the processing of risk and fear , as it is critical in the regulation of amygdala activity in humans. [ 2 ]

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is a region of the brain that plays a crucial role in social and affective functions, as well as moral competency. It is involved in emotional regulation, decision-making, integration of cognition and affect recognition, encoding of emotional values, and processing of facial signals.

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has been implicated in a variety of social, cognitive, and affective functions that are commonly disrupted in mental illness. In this review, we summarize data from a diverse array of human and animal ...

The ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are two major prefrontal regions that usually interact in serving different cognitive functions. On the other hand, these regions are also involved in cognitive processing of emotions but their ...

Dysfunction in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is believed to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of mood and anxiety disorders. Leading neurocircuitry models of these disorders propose that hypoactivity in vmPFC engenders disinhibited ...

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), encompassing the rostral anterior cingulate cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, subgenual cingulate cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex, has been shown to play a key role in the extinction of conditioned fear responses, and importantly, in the maintenance of fear extinction over time (Milad and Quirk, 2002 ...

2008年11月5日 · Firstly, we summarize the influence of the ventro-medial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) on cardiovascular regulations. Secondly, data on how the vmPFC contributes to the regulation of emotional and cognitive processes is presented.

The ventromedial prefrontal cortex consists primarily of the orbitofrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex, and also is known as the ‘limbic’ cortex important in decision making and social judgment.

2021年9月14日 · In particular, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), which is part of the mPFC, functions in emotion regulation by encoding emotional stimuli and by regulating anxiety and fear extinction 9...

2013年6月27日 · Neuroimaging studies show a correlation between activity of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and skin conductance measurements. However, little is known whether this brain region plays a causal role in regulating physiological arousal.
