Most research on mind-wandering has characterized it as a mental state with contents that
are task unrelated or stimulus independent. However, the dynamics of mind-wandering …

Executive functions (EFs) are high-level cognitive processes, often associated with the
frontal lobes, that control lower level processes in the service of goal-directed behavior …

Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of
human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses …

A growing literature has shown associations between socioeconomic disadvantage and
neural properties (such as brain structure and function). In this review, we aimed to …

An enduring aim of research in the psychological and brain sciences is to understand the
nature of individual differences in human intelligence, examining the stunning breadth and …

Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Objective: Cognitive deficits are a common feature of psychiatric disorders. The authors
investigated the nature of disruptions in neural circuitry underlying cognitive control …

Theories of human cognition prominently feature'Broca's area', which causally contributes to
a myriad of mental functions. However, Broca's area is not a monolithic, multipurpose unit–it …

The most replicated result in the field of intelligence is the positive manifold, which refers to
an all-positive pattern of correlations among diverse cognitive tests. The positive manifold is …

In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …
