The brain faces various computational tradeoffs, such as the stability-flexibility dilemma. The
major ascending neuromodulatory systems are well suited to dynamically regulate these …

Dopamine contributes to cognitive control through well-established effects in both the
striatum and cortex. Although earlier work suggests that dopamine affects cognitive control …

Neuroimaging increasingly exploits machine learning techniques in an attempt to achieve
clinically relevant single-subject predictions. An alternative to machine learning, which tries …

Cognitive control helps us attain our goals by resisting distraction and temptations.
Dopaminergic drugs are well known to enhance cognitive control. However, there is great …

Parkinson's disease impairs the inhibition of responses, and whilst impulsivity is mild for
some patients, severe impulse control disorders affect∼ 10% of cases. Based on preclinical …

This paper studies the link between resting-state functional connectivity (FC), measured by
the correlations of fMRI BOLD time courses, and structural connectivity (SC), estimated …

The prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia interact to selectively gate a desired action.
Recent studies have shown that this selective gating mechanism of the basal ganglia …

enhancing drugs alter cognitive control, in part, by increasing dopamine.•Dopamine's effects …

Dopaminergic signaling in striatum is strongly implicated in executive functions including
cognitive flexibility. However, there is a paucity of multimodal research in humans defining …
