Evidence indicates the significance of the fronto-parietal regions and inertia sensory
processing from previous trials in cognitive flexibility. However, how flexible cognitive …

Cognitive flexibility refers to the capacity to shift between patterns of mental function and
relies on functional activity supported by anatomical structures. However, how the brain's …

The human ability to flexibly alternate between tasks represents a central component of
cognitive control. Neuroimaging studies have linked task switching with a diverse set of …

The intra/extradimensional set-shifting task (IED) provides a reliable assessment of cognitive
flexibility, the shifting of attention to select behaviorally relevant stimuli in a given context …

Our brain continuously evaluates different perceptual interpretations of the available sensory
data in order to enable flexible updates of conscious experience. Individuals' perceptual …

Recent research yielded the intriguing conclusion that, in healthy adults, higher levels of
variability in neuronal processes are beneficial for cognitive functioning. Beneficial effects of …

In daily life, people show remarkable flexibility in adapting to novel circumstances. Although
there is general agreement on which brain areas are involved in cognitive flexibility, little is …

The brain is a dynamic, flexible network that continuously reconfigures. However, the neural
underpinnings of how state-dependent variability of dynamic functional connectivity (vdFC) …

The pFC is critical for cognitive flexibility (ie, our ability to flexibly adjust behavior to changing
environmental demands), but also for cognitive stability (ie, our ability to follow behavioral …

Cognitive flexibility is a crucial human ability allowing efficient adaptation to changing task
challenges. Although a person's degree of flexibility can vary from moment to moment, the …
