Dopamine and reward: a view from the prefrontal cortex
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a heterogeneous area that is critical to reward-based decision-
making. In particular, the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, ventromedial PFC and orbitofrontal …

The COMT gene modulates the relationship between bilingual adaptation in executive function and decision-making: an EEG study
D Liu, JW Schwieter, W Liu, L Mu, H Liu - Cognitive Neurodynamics, 2023 - Springer
Bilingual adaptive control mechanisms appear to be linked to congenital genetic factors
such as dopamine (DA) genes. However, it is unclear as to whether acquired cognitive …
