This chapter provides a brief overview of the anatomical organisation of the human
prefrontal cortex (PFC) sub serving cognitive control. The core function of cognitive control is …

Cognitive control guides non-habitual, goal directed behaviors allowing us to flexibly adapt
to ongoing demands. Previous work has suggested that multiple cognitive control processes …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports goal-directed actions and exerts cognitive control over
behavior, but the underlying coding and mechanism are heavily debated. We present …

▪ Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in
cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control: the ability to coordinate thoughts or
actions in relation with internal goals. Its functional architecture, however, remains poorly …

Understanding the neural mechanisms of control regulation requires delineating specific
functional roles for individual neural structures, and consequently their functional …
