Investigating the Long-Lasting Residual Effect of a Set Shift on Frontostriatal Activity

Previous studies have shown the involvement of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the caudate nucleus when performing a set shift. However, the effect of set shifting on the frontostriatal activity observed during the later trials within a series of same-set classifications has yet to be determined. Here, young healthy adults underwent the functional magnetic resonance imaging while performing a card-sorting task in which the...
