The role of prefrontal cortex in psychopathyMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Rev Neurosci 23:253-62. 2012..Although this burgeoning field still faces a number of methodological challenges and outstanding questions that will need to be resolved by future studies, the research to date has established a link between psychopathy and PFC...
Utilitarian moral judgment in psychopathyMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci 7:708-14. 2012..These results provide novel laboratory evidence of abnormal moral judgment in psychopaths, as well as additional support for the importance of considering psychopathic subtypes...
Areas of left perisylvian cortex mediate auditory-verbal short-term memoryMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Neuropsychologia 49:3612-9. 2011..These results support the conclusion that verbal STM and language processing are mediated by the same areas of left perisylvian cortex...
Investigating the neural correlates of psychopathy: a critical reviewM Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Mol Psychiatry 16:792-9. 2011..We propose several strategies for resolving these methodological issues in future studies, with the goal of fostering further progress in the identification of the neural correlates of psychopathy...
Left dorsomedial frontal brain damage is associated with insomniaMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, WI 53719, USA
J Neurosci 30:16041-3. 2010..Our findings are the first to demonstrate a link between insomnia and a discrete locus of brain damage, providing novel insight into the neurobiological mechanisms of sleep maintenance...
Economic decision-making in psychopathy: a comparison with ventromedial prefrontal lesion patientsMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Neuropsychologia 48:2198-204. 2010....
Superior parietal cortex is critical for the manipulation of information in working memoryMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53719, USA
J Neurosci 29:14980-6. 2009..These results indicate that superior parietal cortex is critically important for the manipulation of information in working memory...
The functional neuroanatomy of depression: distinct roles for ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortexMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Behav Brain Res 201:239-43. 2009..The putative roles of ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in depression are discussed in light of the results...
Prefrontal asymmetry in depression? The long-term effect of unilateral brain lesionsMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI 53719, USA
Neurosci Lett 459:88-90. 2009..These data converge with previous stroke studies to suggest that PFC lesion laterality has no long-term systematic effect on vulnerability to depression...
Distinct regions of prefrontal cortex mediate resistance and vulnerability to depressionMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53719, USA
J Neurosci 28:12341-8. 2008..These findings demonstrate that vmPFC and dorsal PFC are critically and causally involved in depression, although with very different roles: vmPFC damage confers resistance to depression, whereas dorsal PFC damage confers vulnerability...
Reduced prefrontal connectivity in psychopathyJulian C Motzkin
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin 53719, USA
J Neurosci 31:17348-57. 2011..Together, these data converge to implicate diminished vmPFC connectivity as a characteristic neurobiological feature of psychopathy...
Cortical thinning in psychopathyMartina Ly
Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology, the Neuroscience Training Program, and the Waisman Center, University of Wisconsin Madison, WI, USA
Am J Psychiatry 169:743-9. 2012..The authors assessed cortical thickness and corresponding functional connectivity in psychopathic prison inmates...
Posttraumatic stress disorder: the role of medial prefrontal cortex and amygdalaMichael Koenigs
Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA
Neuroscientist 15:540-8. 2009..The putative roles of the amygdala and the vmPFC in the pathophysiology of PTSD, as well as implications for potential treatments, are discussed in light of these results...
