This study was aimed at clarifying the effect of different levels of state anxiety caused by
mental arithmetic tasks on the anxiety-and/or task performance-related activation of the …

The present study evaluated the relationship between asymmetry of the prefrontal cortex
activity and the automatic nervous system (ANS) response during a mental arithmetic (MA) …

Despite increasing interest in anxiety and psychological stress in daily life, little is known
about neural correlates that underlie maintained psychological stress and their relationship …

Complex cognitive tasks such as mental arithmetic heavily rely on intact, well-coordinated
prefrontal cortex (PFC) function. Converging evidence suggests that frontal midline theta …

Many neuroimaging studies have demonstrated the different functional contributions of
spatially distinct brain areas to working memory (WM) subsystems in cognitive tasks that …

Background: Sex differences in cognitive tasks have been widely investigated. With brain-
imaging techniques, the functions of the brain during the performance of tasks can be …

Anxious individuals tend to show a negative affective bias in attention that likely reflects
reduced executive control, a cognitive function associated with the inferior frontal cortex …

Understanding the neural basis of arithmetic processes could play an important role in
improving mathematical education. This study investigates the prefrontal cortical activation …

Anxiety is associated with compromised cognitive control functions, such as working
memory. State and trait anxiety within the non-clinical population can be utilised to …

This study investigated the degree of cortical arousal of the forehead during working
memory performance in personality dimension of anxiety. Based on Gray's definition of …
