Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

Although the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) and dorsal premotor cortex (PMd) are thought to
be involved in goal-directed behavior, the specific roles of each area still remain elusive. To …

The inferior frontal cortex, particularly the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) in the right
hemisphere, has been implicated to serve as a general inhibitory mechanism in the …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has consistently been implicated in cognitive
control of motor behavior. There is, however, considerable variability in the exact location …

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 …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a fundamental role in internally guided behavior. Although
it is generally accepted that PFC subserves working memory and executive control …

The human prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control, that is, the ability to form
behavioral strategies that coordinate actions and thoughts in relation to internal goals …

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 …

The anterior prefrontal cortex is known to subserve higher cognitive functions such as task
management and planning. Less is known, however, about the functional specialization of …

Preparing to stop an inappropriate action requires keeping in mind the task goal and using
this to influence the action control system. We tested the hypothesis that different subregions …
