Conflict monitoring and anterior cingulate cortex: an update

MM Botvinick, JD Cohen, CS Carter - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2004 - cell.com
One hypothesis concerning the human dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is that it functions,
in part, to signal the occurrence of conflicts in information processing, thereby triggering …

[PDF][PDF] The expected value of control: an integrative theory of anterior cingulate cortex function

A Shenhav, MM Botvinick, JD Cohen - Neuron, 2013 - cell.com
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 reward …

[HTML][HTML] Conflict monitoring and decision making: reconciling two perspectives on anterior cingulate function

MM Botvinick - Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2007 - Springer
According to one influential account, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) serves to monitor
