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 …

We review evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different
attentional functions. One system, which includes parts of the intraparietal cortex and …

Abstract Information processing in the cerebral cortex involves interactions among
distributed areas. Anatomical connectivity suggests that certain areas form local hierarchical …

Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes
for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has …

The anti-saccade task has emerged as an important task for investigating the flexible control
that we have over behaviour. In this task, participants must suppress the reflexive urge to …

FMRI studies of response inhibition consistently reveal frontal lobe activation. Localization
within the frontal cortex, however, varies across studies and appears dependent on the …

In macaque monkeys, the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is concerned with the integration of
multimodal information for constructing a spatial representation of the external world (in …

Functional neuroimaging has proven highly valuable in map** human sensory regions,
particularly visual areas in occipital cortex. Recent evidence suggests that human parietal …

Response inhibition refers to the suppression of actions that are inappropriate in a given
context and that interfere with goal-driven behavior. Studies using a range of methodological …

The views expressed in the commentaries challenge many of the tenets of the planning–
control model as espoused in the target article. This response is aimed at addressing the …
