Performance deficits on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in patients with prefrontal
cortex (PFC) lesions are traditionally interpreted as evidence for a role of the PFC in …

Investigations into the neurophysiological underpinnings of control suggest that frontal theta
activity is increased with the need for control. However, these studies typically show this link …

This narrative review addresses the neural bases of two executive functions: criterion
setting, that is, the capacity to flexibly set up and select task rules and associations between …

The processing of sensory information and the generation of motor commands needed to
produce coordinated actions can interfere with ongoing cognitive tasks. Even simple motor …

Abstract Background Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) may exhibit impairments in

Motor symptoms in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome (GTS) have been related to changes in
frontostriatal brain networks. These changes may also give rise to alterations in cognitive …

Task‐switching paradigms, which involve task repetitions and between‐task switches, have
long been used as a benchmark of cognitive control processes. When mixed and single …
