The neural circuitry of executive functions in healthy subjects and Parkinson s disease Leh SE; Petrides M; Strafella APNeuropsychopharmacology 2010[Jan]; 35 (1): 70-85In our constantly changing environment, we are frequently faced with altered circumstances requiring generation and monitoring of appropriate strategies, when novel plans of action must be formulated and conducted. The abilities that we call upon to respond accurately to novel situations are referred to as 'executive functions', and are frequently engaged to deal with conditions in which routine activation of behavior would not be sufficient for optimal performance. Here, we summarize important findings that may help us understand executive functions and their underlying neuronal correlates. We focus particularly on observations from imaging technology, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, position emission tomography, diffusion tensor imaging, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, which in the past few years have provided the bulk of information on the neurobiological underpinnings of the executive functions. Further, emphasis will be placed on recent insights from Parkinson's disease (PD), in which the underlying dopaminergic abnormalities have provided new exciting information into basic molecular mechanisms of executive dysfunction, and which may help to disentangle the cortical/subcortical networks involved in executive processes.|Animals[MESH]|Brain/anatomy & histology/pathology/*physiology/*physiopathology[MESH]|Executive Function/*physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Neural Pathways/anatomy & histology/pathology/physiology/physiopathology[MESH]|Parkinson Disease/pathology/*physiopathology[MESH] |
