Cognitive and behavioural flexibility permit the appropriate adjustment of thoughts and
behaviours in response to changing environmental demands. Brain mechanisms enabling …

Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

Adaptive behaviour requires the ability to focus on a task and protect it from distraction
(cognitive stability) and to rapidly switch tasks when circumstances change (cognitive …

Functional connectivity (FC), or the statistical interdependence of blood-oxygen dependent
level (BOLD) signals between brain regions using fMRI, has emerged as a widely used tool …

The neural mechanisms contributing to flexible cognition and behavior and how they
change with development and aging are incompletely understood. The current study …

Cognitive flexibility, or the ability to mentally switch between tasks according to changing
environmental demands, supports optimal life outcomes, making it an important executive …

This study, called for by autistic people and led by an autistic researcher, is the first to
explore 'autistic inertia,'a widespread and often debilitating difficulty acting on their …

Background Neuroimaging studies have reported functional connectome aberrancies in
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the time-varying patterns of connectome …

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder
characterized by substantial clinical and biological heterogeneity. Quantitative and …

There is a long tradition of research into autistic people's executive function skills. Yet,
despite decades of research on EF in autism, the existing literature remains contradictory …
