The Role of the Prefrontal Cortex on Cognitive Adaptability and its Impact on Schizophrenia
P. Rupondo (2024)
This brief literature review explores the critical role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in cognitive adaptability and its implications for individuals with schizophrenia. The PFC is integral to higher cognitive functions, including decision-making, attention, and working memory. In schizophrenia, impairments in PFC activity contribute to deficits in cognitive flexibility, a core feature of the disorder. This review synthesizes current findings on the PFC’s involvement in cognitive processes and examines how its dysfunction in schizophrenia affects adaptive behaviour and therapeutic outcomes.
