“…Recently, Hornak and colleagues have shown that selective lesions to bilateral anterior cingulate cortex produce disturbances in personality functioning similar to those observed in patients with orbital frontal lesions (Hornak et al, 2003). In humans, anterior cingulate lesions lead to perseveration (Mesulam, 2000), difficulties in affective face and voice identification (Hornak et al, 2003), error monitoring (Swick and Jovanovic, 2002;Swick and Turken, 2002;Turken and Swick, 1999) and response inhibition abnormalities (Degos et al, 1993;Tekin and Cummings, 2002). Psychopathy has long been associated with perseveration (see review by , apathy (Cleckley, 1941;McCord and McCord, 1964), difficulties in identifying some affective face stimuli (Blair et al, 1997;Kosson et al, 2002), and more recently, error monitoring (Bates et al, submitted for publication) and response inhibition abnormalities (Kiehl et al, 2000b;Lapierre et al, 1995).…”

Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder that includes interpersonal and affective traits such as glibness, lack of empathy, guilt or remorse, shallow affect, and irresponsibility, and behavioral characteristics such as impulsivity, poor behavioral control, and promiscuity. Much is known about the assessment of psychopathy; however, relatively little is understood about the relevant brain disturbances. The present review integrates data from studies of behavioral and cognitive changes associated with focal brain lesions or insults and results from psychophysiology, cognitive psychology and cognitive and affective neuroscience in health and psychopathy. The review illustrates that the brain regions implicated in psychopathy include the orbital frontal cortex, insula, anterior and posterior cingulate, amygdala, parahippocampal gyrus, and anterior superior temporal gyrus. The relevant functional neuroanatomy of psychopathy thus includes limbic and paralimbic structures that may be collectively termed 'the paralimbic system'. The paralimbic system dysfunction model of psychopathy is discussed as it relates to the extant literature on psychopathy.

“…Benedict et al, 2002;Crottaz-Herbette & Menon, 2006). Interestingly, one of the brain areas implicated in auditory attention, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) on the medial surface of the human brain, is also involved in high-order control of ocular, vocal, and manual responses (e.g., Paus, 2001;Pickard & Strick, 1996;Roelofs, 2008a;Roelofs, Van Turennout, & Coles, 2006;Turken & Swick, 1999), although the involvement of part of the ACC is independent of response modality (Barch et al, 2001). Also, the ACC is involved in the suppression of activity in auditory cortex during vocalization by monkeys (Müller-Preuss et al, 1980;Müller-Preuss & Ploog, 1981).…”

Controversy exists about whether dual-task interference from word planning reflects structural bottleneck or attentional control factors. Here, participants named pictures whose names could or could not be phonologically prepared, and they manually responded to arrows presented away from (Experiment 1), or superimposed onto, the pictures (Experiments 2 and 3); or they responded to tones (Experiment 4). Pictures and arrows/tones were presented at stimulus onset asynchronies of 0, 300, and 1,000 ms. Earlier research showed that vocal responding hampers auditory perception, which predicts earlier shifts of attention to the tones than to the arrows. Word planning yielded dual-task interference. Phonological preparation reduced the latencies of picture naming and gaze shifting. The preparation benefit was propagated into the latencies of the manual responses to the arrows but not to the tones. The malleability of the interference supports the attentional control account. This conclusion was corroborated by computer simulations showing that an extension of WEAVERϩϩ (A. Roelofs, 2003) with assumptions about the attentional control of tasks quantitatively accounts for the latencies of vocal responding, gaze shifting, and manual responding.

“…Having said this, it should be acknowledged that neuropsychological findings have been quite variable. Some studies have found no clear-cut deficits in cognitive control, noting instead problems with response selection [68] or autonomic function [69]. Further work clarifying the effects of ACC damage is warranted.…”
