Behavioral control is not unitary. It comprises parallel systems, model based and model free,
that respectively generate flexible and habitual behaviors. Model-based decisions use …

INTRODUCTION Social groups play a foundational role in the behavior of many animal
species. During group interactions, an individual's behavior can affect not only the well …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) generates the mental representations that are the
foundation of abstract thought, and provides top-down regulation of emotion through …

The ability to adjust one's behavioral strategy in complex environments is at the core of
cognition. Doing so efficiently requires monitoring the reliability of the ongoing strategy and …

Despite many observations of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) activity related to cognition
and affect in humans and nonhuman animals, little is known about the causal role of the …

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is important for decision‐making as it integrates motor
plans with affective and contextual limbic information. Disruptions in these networks have …

Cortical circuits process both sensory and motor information in animals performing
perceptual tasks. However, it is still unclear how sensory inputs are transformed into motor …

Electroencephalography (EEG) measures neural activation due to various cognitive
processes. EEG and event-related potentials (ERPs) are widely used in studies investigating …

Research examining the functional underpinnings of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and its
relationship to cognitive control have been described as “perennially controversial” and a …

In spite of being an intensive area of research focus, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)
remains somewhat of an enigma. Many theories have focused on its role in various aspects …
