DLPFC - Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Dorsal = upper part
Lateral = to the side
Prefrontal = That part of the frontal lobe which receives thalamic projections from the mediodorsal nucleus (Woolsey 1947)
Cortex = from the Latin word for "bark" the outside layer of the cerebrum, cortex is gray matter meaning it is composed of cells as opposed to the white matter underneath
One hundred years ago a psychiatrist in Germany (Paul Flechsig, MD (1847-1929) noticed that the cortex did not all myelinate at the same time, but developed in a certain sequence which appeared analogous to the evolution of the brain. The first parts of the brain which myelinates we share with the most primitive mammals, these are the basic input-output areas of face, arms, legs etc. The last to develop are those areas which make us the most human - the "Higher Functions" such as creativity, intelligence, memory, planning and sequencing. He numbered the areas and made a map of the brain from area 1 to 45.
This map of the brain points us to pay attention to the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (Flechsig #45, Brodmann's areas 9 & 46) and the Frontal Pole (Flechsig #45, Brodmann's area 10).
In the century that followed, this last area has been studied extensively.
Development of white matter with increasing age in the right DLPFC (myelinogenesis). This graph demonstrates the correlation between age and myelination of the white matter (axons) (reflected in level of fractional anistotropy (FA) (Barnea-Goraly et al., 2005)
Fig. 3. The influence of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on the correlated activity between the dorsomedial midbrain and medial thalamus during heat allodynia. Upper right graph shows the negative correlation between activity in the left DLPFC and each subject’s rating (VAS) of pain unpleasantness during heat allodynia. A median split of DLPFC activity defines high (filled circles) and low (open circles) activity levels. The lower right graph shows the strong positive midbrain-thalamic correlation when DLPFC activity is low and a lack of significant correlation when DLPFC activity is high. The diagram (left) summarizes one interpretation of this relationship. Midbrain and medial thalamic activity are uniquely activated during heat allodynia, which is associated specifically with increased pain unpleasantness (compared to normal heat pain). The left DLPFC, while also activated in this condition, is negatively correlated with pain unpleasantness. Our analysis of these results is consistent with the interpretation that the left DLPFC actively reduces pain unpleasantness (affect) by reducing the activity ascending from the midbrain to medial thalamus during heat allodynia.

In addition, repetitive TMS (rTMS) has long-term effects (e.g. on mood), probably mediated by neurochemical alterations. ...C …

Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex prevents short-latency saccade and vergence: a TMS study.Coubard OA, Kapoula Z.Cereb Cortex. 2006 Mar;16(3):425-36. doi: 10.1093/cercor/bhi122. Epub 2005 Jun 15.PMID: 15958779 Clinical Trial.TMS over DLPFC influenced eye movement initiation but not their metrics. ...For convergence, TMS effects were mild: rightward TMS increased the proportion of short latencies but failed to shorten the group mean latency; leftward TMS influenced triggeri …

The role of the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in ocular motor behavior.Pierrot-Deseilligny Ch, Müri RM, Nyffeler T, Milea D.Ann N Y Acad Sci. 2005 Apr;1039:239-51. doi: 10.1196/annals.1325.023.PMID: 15826978The DLPFC also controls short-term spatial working memory involved in memory-guided saccades, as shown by lesion and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies. By contrast, medium-term spatial memory (after 25 s) may be controlled by the medial temporal cortex (MTC). …

Left dorso-lateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation affects cortical excitability and functional connectivity, but does not impair cognition in major depression.Shajahan PM, Glabus MF, Steele JD, Doris AB, Anderson K, Jenkins JA, Gooding PA, Ebmeier KP.Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry. 2002 Jun;26(5):945-54. doi: 10.1016/s0278-5846(02)00210-5.PMID: 12369271PURPOSE: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used for over a decade to investigate cortical function. ...No noticeable deterioration in neuropsychological function was observed. CONCLUSION: TMS at the stimulation frequencies used seems to be safe over a …

Cortico-cortical connectivity of the human mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex and its modulation by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.Paus T, Castro-Alamancos MA, Petrides M.Eur J Neurosci. 2001 Oct;14(8):1405-11. doi: 10.1046/j.0953-816x.2001.01757.x.PMID: 11703468This possibility was tested by applying rTMS to the left mid-dorsolateral frontal cortex (MDL-FC) and subsequently measuring functional connectivity of this region with positron emission tomography (PET) and TMS. The results showed a strong rTMS-related modulation of brain …

The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and random generation of responses: studies with transcranial magnetic stimulation.Jahanshahi M, Dirnberger G.Neuropsychologia. 1999 Feb;37(2):181-90. doi: 10.1016/s0028-3932(98)00092-x.PMID: 10080375The aim of the present study was to further investigate the generality of this model by examining the effects of short trains of TMS over the left or right DLPFC or medial frontal cortex on random letter generation in healthy participants. TMS over the left DLPFC si …

The effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on suppression of habitual counting during random number generation.Jahanshahi M, Profice P, Brown RG, Ridding MC, Dirnberger G, Rothwell JC.Brain. 1998 Aug;121 ( Pt 8):1533-44. doi: 10.1093/brain/121.8.1533.PMID: 9712014This differential effect of TMS over the left DLPFC on the balance of the subject's counting bias was not obtained with TMS over the right DLPFC or the medial frontal cortex. The results suggest that, with disruption of the left DLPFC with TMS, habitual count ….
