As we grow older, we may grow wiser, but we can also experience memory loss and
cognitive slowing that can interfere with our daily routines. The cognitive neuroscience of …

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 …

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 …
