The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has a near-ubiquitous presence in the
neuroscience of cognitive control. It has been implicated in a diversity of functions, from …

There are few behavioral effects as ubiquitous as the speed-accuracy tradeoff (SAT). From
insects to rodents to primates, the tendency for decision speed to covary with decision …

Converging evidence indicates that impairments in executive function and information-
processing speed limit quality of life and social reentry after moderate-to-severe traumatic …

Sequential sampling models assume that people make speeded decisions by gradually
accumulating noisy information until a threshold of evidence is reached. In cognitive …

The diffusion model is a commonly used tool to infer latent psychological processes
underlying decision making, and to link them to neural mechanisms based on reaction …

A better understanding of the neural systems underlying impulse control is important for
psychiatry. Although most impulses are motivational or emotional rather than motoric per se …

Inter-individual variability in perception, thought and action is frequently treated as a source
of'noise'in scientific investigations of the neural mechanisms that underlie these processes …

It takes effort and time to tame one's impulses. Although medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is
broadly implicated in effortful control over behavior, the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is …

Response inhibition is an important act of control in many domains of psychology and
neuroscience. It is often studied in a stop-signal task that requires subjects to inhibit an …

In many situations, decision makers need to negotiate between the competing demands of
response speed and response accuracy, a dilemma generally known as the speed …
