dorsolateral prefrontal cortex dlPFC - [[cognitive regulation]], [[self-regulation]], [[brain valuation system]] # Idea Emotion regulation tends to increase dlPFC activity, though cognitive regulation during dietary choice decreased it [[Hutcherson 2012 Cognitive regulation shifts behavioral control between vmPFC and dlPFC|(Hutcherson et al., 2012)]], so the notion that the dlPFC simply serves to regulate affective representations in other brain areas is likely incorrect. The dlPFC underlies top-down [[attentional filtering]] and [[value modulation]] during dietary choice [[Harris 2013 early attention filtering vs late value modulation during self-control|(Harris et al., 2013)]]. # References
