The frontal lobes are important for cognitive control, yet their functional organization remains
controversial. An influential class of theory proposes that the frontal lobes are organized …

The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-directed
behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent studies …

Cognitive control supports flexible behavior by selecting actions that are consistent with our
goals and appropriate for our environment. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has an established …

Cognitive control mechanisms permit memory to be accessed strategically, and so aid in
bringing knowledge to mind that is relevant to current goals and actions. In this review, we …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports flexible behavior by mediating cognitive control, though the
elemental forms of control supported by PFC remain a central debate. Dorsolateral PFC (…

Although we often encounter circumstances with which we have no prior experience, we
rapidly learn how to behave in these novel situations. Such adaptive behavior relies on abstract …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to flexible and organized action. Recent theoretical
and empirical results suggest that the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobes may reflect a …

Growing evidence suggests that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is organized hierarchically, with
more anterior regions having increasingly abstract representations. How does this …

How do individuals decide to act based on a rewarding status quo versus an unexplored
choice that might yield a better outcome? Recent evidence suggests that individuals may …

How does ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) control mnemonic processing? Alternative
models propose that VLPFC guides top-down (controlled) retrieval of knowledge from long-…
