TL;DR: New rigorous meta-analyses of published age differences in EF-related brain activity suggest a larger heterogeneity of age-related differences in brain activity associated with EFs and encourage future research that pays greater attention to replicability and investigates age- related differences in deactivation.

TL;DR: In this article, coordinate-based meta-analyses were performed to map the brain regions consistently recruited during perceptuo-motor processing, including frontal, cerebellar and subcortical areas associated with higher-order cognitive functions.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated to what degree individual abilities across three different executive functioning tasks can be predicted from resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) within EF-related, perceptuo-motor, whole-brain, and random networks separately in young and old adults.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used pattern similarity analysis to examine the content of representations in FPl and interconnected mid-lateral prefrontal and amygdala circuitry, and found that FPl contained conjunctive emotion-action goal representations that were related to successful cognitive control during emotional processing.

TL;DR: New rigorous meta-analyses of published age differences in EF-related brain activity suggest a larger heterogeneity of age-related differences in brain activity associated with EFs and encourage future research that pays greater attention to replicability, investigates age- related differences in deactivation, and focuses on more narrowly defined EF subprocesses.
