Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have afforded a description of neural
responses in terms of latent algorithmic operations. However, the adoption of this approach …

Performance monitoring is an important executive function that allows us to gain insight into
our own behaviour. This remarkable ability relies on the frontal cortex, and its impairment is …

Human cognition requires the coordination of neural activity across widespread brain
networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI has developed into a mature measurement technique in the past
25 years. During this time considerable technical and analytical advances have been made …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has a near-ubiquitous presence in the
neuroscience of cognitive control. It has been implicated in a diversity of functions, from …

Implications of structural connections within and between brain regions for their functional
counterpart are timely points of discussion. White matter microstructural organization and …

Classic cognitive theory conceptualizes executive functions as involving multiple specific
domains, including initiation, inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, and vigilance …

Inhibitory control enables humans to stop prepotent motor activity, and is commonly studied
using go/no‐go or stop‐signal tasks. In stop‐signal tasks, prepotent motor activity is elicited …

Evidence from imaging and anatomical studies suggests that the midcingulate cortex (MCC)
is a dynamic hub lying at the interface of affect and cognition. In particular, this neural system …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …
