Abstract

âº People performed working memory tasks where they monitored facial emotion or identity. âº Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) activity increased during both tasks. âº DLPFC correlated with activity in amygdala (emotion task) and fusiform (identity task). âº Between subjects, neural activity correlated with performance on the respective tasks.
