Abstract Concepts of cognitive control (CC) and executive function (EF) are defined in terms
of their relationships with goal-directed behavior versus habits and controlled versus …

Motor imagery (MI) or the mental simulation of action is now increasingly being studied
using neuroimaging techniques such as positron emission tomography and functional …

Prefrontal cortex is thought to have a fundamental role in flexible, context-dependent
behaviour, but the exact nature of the computations underlying this role remains largely …

Successful behavior requires actively acquiring and representing information about the
environment and people, and manipulating and using those acquired representations …

There is accumulating neural evidence to support the existence of two distinct systems for
guiding action selection, a deliberative" model-based" and a reflexive" model-free" system …

Humans are set apart from other animals by many elements of advanced cognition and
behaviour, including language, judgement and reasoning. What is special about the human …

This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major
advances in the field--gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what …

Childhood obesity rates have risen dramatically over the past few decades. Although obesity
has been linked to poorer neurocognitive functioning in adults, much less is known about …

During object manipulation tasks, the brain selects and implements action-phase controllers
that use sensory predictions and afferent signals to tailor motor output to the physical …

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 …
