Executive control is a complex high-level cognitive function that relies on distributed brain
circuitry. We propose that the anterior insular cortex plays an under-appreciated role in …

The traditional view on the cerebellum is that it controls motor behavior. Although recent
work has revealed that the cerebellum supports also nonmotor functions such as cognition …

Mental representations remain the central posits of psychology after many decades of
scrutiny. However, there is no consensus about the representational format (s) of biological …

While the cerebellum's role in motor function is well recognized, the nature of its concurrent
role in cognitive function remains considerably less clear. The current consensus paper …

Inner speech—also known as covert speech or verbal thinking—has been implicated in
theories of cognitive development, speech monitoring, executive function, and …

In less than three decades, the concept “cerebellar neurocognition” has evolved from a mere
afterthought to an entirely new and multifaceted area of neuroscientific research. A close …

The little voice inside our head, or inner speech, is a common everyday experience. It plays
a central role in human consciousness at the interplay of language and thought. An …

Fast fMRI enables the detection of neural dynamics over timescales of hundreds of
milliseconds, suggesting it may provide a new avenue for studying subsecond neural …

Lesion and neuroimaging studies indicate that the insula mediates motor aspects of speech
production, specifically, articulatory control. Although it has direct connections to Broca's …

Working memory is vital for basic functions in everyday life. During working memory, one
holds a finite amount of information in mind until it is no longer required or when resources …
