Hey T, so here are some edits for your page: 1. Under working memory, this sentence doesn't make sense: [However, WM has a capacity limit that can cause hypofrontality, or a reduction in the activity of the PFC, in people who are healthy or with DLPFC dysfunctions, such as those with schizophrenia[3]] 2. in this sentence [The DLPFC is a major factor in controlling functions such as attention, executive function, and working memor] if the concepts of attention, EF and WM haven't been hyperlinked already, earlier in the article, please hyperlink them here to their own wikipages. 3. maybe drop the schizo ref in 1 above because you do a whole section on schizophrenia later 4. work on the flow for schizophrenia, maybe condense and combine the first two sentences? 5. this sentences is hard to follow: [The poor performance contributes to the added capacity limitations in working memory that is greater than the limits on normal patients.[6]] 6. Tighten up the final sentence, here's an example: Your sentence: [The cognitive processes that deal heavily with the DPLFC, such as memory, attention, and higher order processing, are the functions that once distorted contribute to the factors of the illness.] edited sentence [When DLPFC dependent processes such as memory, attention, and higher order processing are distorted the symptoms of schizophrenia appear.] 7. There are similar issues in the remaining sections--try to tighten up the writing there and re- read it several times to see if it is clear. I'm going to go directly into your sandbox and edit the depression section so that you can see an example. PC Midd Intro Neuro (talk) 22:27, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey T, see this copy:

Depression

Along with the limbic system, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is affected in major depressive disorder (MDD)^[1]. Damage to the DLPFC, can lead to increased expression of depressive symptoms. It is hypothesized that the DLPFC has reduced activity in MDD patients which may be a product of grey matter volume abnormalities of the DLPFC^[1]. It is thought that both the DLPFC and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex contribute to depression due to their roles in emotion and self awareness ^[2]. The DLPFC contributes to emotions, and the VMPFC’s contributes to self-awareness or self-reflection.
