Determining the psychological, computational, and neural bases of confidence and
uncertainty holds promise for understanding foundational aspects of human metacognition …

Coordinated interactions between the central and autonomic nervous systems are crucial for
survival due to the inherent propensity for human behavior to make errors. In our ever …

Theories of human neurobehavioral development suggest executive functions mature from
childhood through adolescence, underlying adolescent risk-taking and the emergence of …

Humans have the remarkable cognitive capacity to rapidly adapt to changing environments.
Central to this capacity is the ability to form high-level, abstract representations that take …

The ability to abstract information to guide decisions during navigation across changing
environments is essential for adaptation and requires the integrity of the hippocampal …

Performance monitoring is an important executive function that allows us to gain insight into
our own behaviour. This remarkable ability relies on the frontal cortex, and its impairment is …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) enables a staggering variety of complex behaviors, such as
planning actions, solving problems, and adapting to new situations according to external …

Cognitive flexibility is a fundamental ability that enables humans and animals to exhibit
appropriate behaviors in various contexts. The thalamocortical interactions between the …

Engaging in metacognition (evaluating, controlling, and representing cognitive states) is
paramount for efficient behaviour. In this Review, we examine different types of cognitive …

The medial frontal cortex (MFC) enables executive control by monitoring relevant
information and using it to adapt behavior. In macaques performing a saccade …
