The prefrontal cortex and cognitive control.
One of the enduring mysteries of brain function concerns the process of cognitive control. How does complex and seemingly willful behaviour emerge from interactions between millions of neurons? This has long been suspected to depend on the prefrontal cortex--the neocortex at the anterior end of the brain--but now we are beginning to uncover its neural basis. Nearly all intended behaviour is lea...
متن کاملThe neural mechanisms underlying internally and externally guided task selection
While some prior work suggests that medial prefrontal cortex (MFC) regions mediate freely chosen actions, other work suggests that the lateral frontal pole (LFP) is responsible for control of abstract, internal goals. The present study uses fMRI to determine whether the voluntary selection of a task in pursuit of an overall goal relies on MFC regions or the LFP. To do so, we used a modified vol...
متن کاملFrom preparation to online control: reappraisal of neural circuitry mediating internally generated and externally guided actions.
Action plans internally generated (IG) from memory are thought to be regulated by the supplementary motor area (SMA), whereas plans externally guided (EG) online using sensory cues are believed to be controlled by the premotor cortex. This theory was investigated in an event-related fMRI study that separated the time course of activation before and during movement to distinguish advance plannin...
متن کاملDissociable mechanisms of cognitive control in prefrontal and premotor cortex.
Intelligent behavior depends on the ability to suppress inappropriate actions and resolve interference between competing responses. Recent clinical and neuroimaging evidence has demonstrated the involvement of prefrontal, parietal, and premotor areas during behaviors that emphasize conflict and inhibition. It remains unclear, however, whether discrete subregions within this network are crucial ...
متن کاملVentromedial and orbital prefrontal neurons differentially encode internally and externally driven motivational values in monkeys.
The value of events that predict future rewards, thereby driving behavior, is sensitive to information arising from external (environmental) and internal factors. The ventral prefrontal cortex, an anatomically heterogeneous area, has information related to this value. We designed experiments to compare the contribution of two distinct subregions, orbital and ventromedial, of the ventral prefron...
