It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

Individuals with ADHD are characterized as ubiquitously slower and more variable than their
unaffected peers, and increased reaction time (RT) variability is considered by many to …

Based on attention restoration theory we proposed that micro-breaks spent viewing a city
scene with a flowering meadow green roof would boost sustained attention. Sustained …

Classic cognitive theory conceptualizes executive functions as involving multiple specific
domains, including initiation, inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, and vigilance …

White matter (WM) continues to mature through adolescence in parallel with gains in
cognitive ability. To date, developmental changes in human WM microstructure have been …

The supervisory attentional system has been proposed to mediate non-routine, goal-
oriented behaviour by guiding the selection and maintenance of the goal-relevant task …

The adaptive gain theory highlights the pivotal role of the locus coeruleus–noradrenergic
(LC‐NE) system in regulating task engagement. In humans, however, LC‐NE functional …

Suppressing an already initiated manual response depends critically on the right inferior
frontal cortex (IFC), yet it is unclear how this inhibitory function is implemented in the motor …

Increased intraindividual variability (IIV) is a hallmark of disorders of attention. Recent work
has linked these disorders to abnormalities in a “default mode” network, comprising brain …

The hypothesis that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) reflects a primary
inhibitory executive function deficit has spurred a substantial literature. However, empirical …
