In the current study, we use the complementary lesion based approach to deepen our knowledge concerning the specific cognitive mechanisms modulated by prefrontal activity. Specifically, we assessed the brain substrates implicated in two decision making dimensions in a sample of prefrontal cortex patients: (a) the tendency to differently weigh recent compared to past experience; and (b) the tendency to differently weigh gains compared to losses. The participants performed the Iowa Gambling Task, a complex experience-based decision-making task, which was analyzed with a formal cognitive model (the Expectancy-Valance model). The results indicated that decisions become influenced by more recent, as opposed to older, events when the damage reaches the posterior sectors of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC). Furthermore, the degree of this recency deficit was related to the size of the lesion. These results suggest that the posterior area of the prefrontal cortex directly modulates the capacity to use time-delayed information. In contrast, we did not find similar modulation for the sensitivity to gains versus losses.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":2.70805020110221,"endowment":2.70805020110221,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"20412820","pmcid":"PMC3124685","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2013806849","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"NIDA NIH HHS","grant_id":"R01 DA023051","title":null},{"funder_name":"NINDS NIH HHS","grant_id":"P01 NS019632","title":null}],"total_grants":2,"fwci":0.6439,"citation_percentile":0.69839712,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2012,"count":1},{"year":2013,"count":3},{"year":2014,"count":2},{"year":2015,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":2},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":1},{"year":2023,"count":1},{"year":2025,"count":1}],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.elsevier.com/tdm/userlicense/1.0/","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S016643281000286X?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S016643281000286X?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2010.04.023","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20412820","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/3124685","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies","Decision-Making and Behavioral Economics","Memory and Neural Mechanisms","Adult","Aged","Aged, 80 and over","Decision Making","Female","Gambling","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Models, Psychological","Neuropsychological Tests","Prefrontal Cortex","Reinforcement, Psychology","Time Factors","Young Adult"],"mesh_terms":["Adult","Aged","Aged, 80 and over","Decision Making","Female","Gambling","Humans","Male","Middle Aged","Models, Psychological","Neuropsychological Tests","Reinforcement, Psychology","Time Factors","Prefrontal Cortex","Young Adult"],"keywords":["Ventromedial prefrontal cortex","Prefrontal cortex","Expectancy theory","Psychology","Self-reference effect","Neuroscience","Neuroimaging","Cognition","Cognitive psychology","Consumer neuroscience","Cortex (anatomy)","Lesion","Social psychology"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Peace, Justice and strong institutions"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-07-28T23:34:51.984256Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
