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 …

The medial frontal cortex and adjacent orbitofrontal cortex have been the focus of
investigations of decision-making, behavioral flexibility, and social behavior. We review …

There has been little analysis of neurochemical correlates of compulsive behaviour to
illuminate its underlying neural mechanisms. We use 7-Tesla proton magnetic resonance …

Choosing how much effort to expend is critical for everyday decisions. While several
neuroimaging studies have examined effort-based decision-making, results have been …

The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex/dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dmPFC/dACC) is a brain
area subject to many theories and debates over its function (s). Even its precise anatomical …

While often seeming to investigate rather different problems, research into value-based
decision making and cognitive control have historically offered parallel insights into how …

How do people limit awareness of unwanted memories? When such memories intrude, a
control process engages the right DLPFC (rDLPFC) to inhibit hippocampal activity and stop …

Aversive motivation plays a prominent role in driving individuals to exert cognitive control.
However, the complexity of behavioral responses attributed to aversive incentives creates …

Researchers run experiments to test theories, search for and document phenomena,
develop theories, or advise policymakers. When testing theories, experiments must be …

Attachment theory is built on the assumption of consistency; the mother–infant bond is
thought to underpin the life-long representations individuals construct of attachment …
