Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and attention process during daily caffeine intake
CORTEX
We observed a reduced BOLD activity in the medial frontal gyrus (encompassed by dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, DLPFC) in the withdrawal condition compared to caffeine. The DLPFC is critical for the execution of attention procesessTo summarize in a perspective of the hierarchical cognitive functions, caffeine intake in general seems to gain difficulty in cognitive engagement: at a behavioral level, pure attentional processing can be enhanced by acute caffeine
