Studies in monkeys show clear anatomical and functional distinctions among networks
connecting with subregions within the prefrontal cortex. Three such networks are centered …

The functions of prefrontal cortex (PFC) areas are constrained by their anatomical
connections. There is little quantitative information about human PFC connections, and …

Our ability to act flexibly, according to goals and context, is known as cognitive control.
Hierarchical levels of control, reflecting different levels of abstraction, are represented across …

The human dorsal frontal cortex has been associated with the most sophisticated aspects of
cognition, including those that are thought to be especially refined in humans. Here we used …

Distinct thalamic nuclei, like the mediodorsal (MD) nucleus and the centromedian/
parafascicular complex (CM/Pf), are embedded in different basal ganglia—thalamocortical …

The prefrontal cortex has been defined as that cortical territory that has “essential or
sustaining” connections with the mediodorsal (MD) nucleus of the thalamus (Rose and …

The connectivity between functionally distinct areas in the human brain is unknown because
of the limitations posed by current postmortem anatomical labeling techniques. Diffusion …

Anatomical studies in animals have described multiple striatal circuits and suggested that
sub-components of the striatum, although functionally related, project to distinct cortical …

The interactions of anterior temporal structures, and especially the amygdala, with the
prefrontal cortex are pivotal to learning, decision-making, and socio-emotional regulation. A …

Lateral premotor cortex (PM) in the macaque monkey can be segregated into structurally
and functionally distinct subregions, including a major division between dorsal (PMd) and …
