Abstract Concepts of cognitive control (CC) and executive function (EF) are defined in terms
of their relationships with goal-directed behavior versus habits and controlled versus …

The advent of cognitive neuroscience as a discipline has accelerated research on the
functions of the prefrontai cortex (PFC). The cognitive neuroscience perspective has led to …

The term “executive functions” refers to a range of cognitive processes, their common feature
being the coordination of information processing and action control. Cortico-subcortical …

Executive functions, or cognitive control, are higher-order cognitive functions needed for
adaptive goal-directed behaviours and are significantly impaired in majority of …

The prefrontal cortex guides behaviors, thoughts, and feelings using representational
knowledge, ie, working memory. These fundamental cognitive abilities subserve the so …

Our knowledge of the functions of the prefrontal cortex, often called executive, supervisory,
or control, has been transformed over the past 50 years. After operationally defining terms …

Abstract Systems neuroscience approaches with a focus on large-scale brain organization
and network analysis are advancing foundational knowledge of how cognitive control …

A major challenge in research on executive control is to reveal its functional decomposition
into underlying neural mechanisms. A typical assumption is that this decomposition occurs …

Cognitive control functions (“executive functions”[EFs] such as attentional control, self-
regulation, working memory, and inhibition) that depend on prefrontal cortex (PFC) are …

OBJECTIVE: The catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene affects how long dopamine
acts in the prefrontal cortex. The Methionine polymorphism, which results in a slower …
