Dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and the value of control
Debates over the function (s) of dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) have persisted for
decades. So too have demonstrations of the region's association with cognitive control …

Toward a rational and mechanistic account of mental effort
In spite of its familiar phenomenology, the mechanistic basis for mental effort remains poorly
understood. Although most researchers agree that mental effort is aversive and stems from …

Triple dissociation of attention and decision computations across prefrontal cortex
Naturalistic decision-making typically involves sequential deployment of attention to choice
alternatives to gather information before a decision is made. Attention filters how information …

Theta–gamma coordination between anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex indexes correct attention shifts
Anterior cingulate and lateral prefrontal cortex (ACC/PFC) are believed to coordinate activity
to flexibly prioritize the processing of goal-relevant over irrelevant information. This between …
