In non-habitual situations, cognitive control aligns actions with both short-and long-term
goals. The capacity for cognitive control is tightly tied to the prefrontal cortex, whose …

The neocortex and cerebellum interact to mediate cognitive functions. It remains unknown
how the two structures organize into functional networks to mediate specific behaviors. Here …

▪ 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 …

The human brain is characterized by a remarkable ability to adapt its information processing
based on current goals. This ability, which is encompassed by the psychological construct of …

The facility with which humans perform and shift among a wide variety of cognitive tasks
seems to indicate a mechanism for entering into a task-dependent mode or set. However …

During the perception-to-action cycle, our cerebral cortex mediates the interactions between
the environment and the perceptual-executive systems of the brain. At the top of the …

The coordination of the direction of selective attention is an adaptive function that may be
one of the many anticipatory tools under cerebellar control. This chapter presents …

Human cognition is characterized by flexibility, the ability to select not only which action but
which cognitive process to engage to best achieve the current behavioral objective. The …
