cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal …

Anxiety often is studied as a stand-alone construct in laboratory models. But in the context of
coping with real-life anxiety, its negative impacts extend beyond aversive feelings and …

Persistent activity generated in the PFC during the delay period of working memory tasks
represents information about stimuli held in memory and determines working memory …

The neural bases of behavior are often discussed in terms of perceptual, cognitive, and
motor stages, defined within an information processing framework that was originally …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control.
How does complex and seemingly wilful behaviour emerge from interactions between …

Was wissen wir heute über die neuronalen Strukturen und Prozesse, die normalem und

At every moment, the natural world presents animals with two fundamental pragmatic
problems: selection between actions that are currently possible and specification of the …

The ability to abstract principles or rules from direct experience allows behaviour to extend
beyond specific circumstances to general situations. For example, we learn the 'rules' for …
