Inhibition and the right inferior frontal cortex.

Reads0

TLDR
Advances in human lesion-mapping support the functional localization of such inhibition to right IFC alone, and future research should investigate the generality of this proposed inhibitory function to other task domains, and its interaction within a wider network.

The Role of the Medial Frontal Cortex in Cognitive Control.

TL;DR: New findings in cognitive neuroscience concerning cortical interactions that subserve the recruitment and implementation of cognitive control are evaluated, suggesting that monitoring-related pMFC activity serves as a signal that engages regulatory processes in the LPFC to implement performance adjustments.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical role for the right fronto-insular cortex in switching between central-executive and default-mode networks

TL;DR: FMRI results indicate that the rFIC is likely to play a major role in switching between distinct brain networks across task paradigms and stimulus modalities, and have important implications for a unified view of network mechanisms underlying both exogenous and endogenous cognitive control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress signalling pathways that impair prefrontal cortex structure and function

TL;DR: Recent research has provided clues as to why genetic or environmental insults that disinhibit stress signalling pathways can lead to symptoms of profound prefrontal cortical dysfunction in mental illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of cognitive control and mismatch on the N2 component of the ERP: a review.

TL;DR: This work focuses on paradigms that elicit N2 components with an anterior scalp distribution, namely, cognitive control, novelty, and sequential matching, and argues that the anterior N2 should be divided into separate control- and mismatch-related subcomponents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decision making, impulse control and loss of willpower to resist drugs: a neurocognitive perspective

TL;DR: It is argued that addicted people become unable to make drug-use choices on the basis of long-term outcome, and a neural framework is proposed that explains this myopia for future consequences.

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function

TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive control stems from the active maintenance of patterns of activity in the prefrontal cortex that represent goals and the means to achieve them, which provide bias signals to other brain structures whose net effect is to guide the flow of activity along neural pathways that establish the proper mappings between inputs, internal states, and outputs needed to perform a given task.

Behavioral inhibition, sustained attention, and executive functions: Constructing a unifying theory of ADHD.

TL;DR: A theoretical model that links inhibition to 4 executive neuropsychological functions that appear to depend on it for their effective execution is constructed and finds it to be strongest for deficits in behavioral inhibition, working memory, regulation of motivation, and motor control in those with ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociating the role of the dorsolateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex in cognitive control.

TL;DR: Event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging and a task-switching version of the Stroop task were used to examine whether these components of cognitive control have distinct neural bases in the human brain and a double dissociation was found.

On the Ability to Inhibit Thought and Action: A Theory of an Act of Control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of the inhibition of thought and action to account for people's performance in situations with explicit stop signals, and apply it to several sets of data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Costs of a predictible switch between simple cognitive tasks.

TL;DR: In this article, task-set reconfiguration was investigated in 5 experiments and on every 4th trial in a final experiment, where the tasks were to classify either the digit member of a pair of characters as even/odd or the letter member as consonant/vowel.
