Pupillometry research has experienced an enormous revival in the last two decades. Here
we briefly review the surge of recent studies on task-evoked pupil dilation in the context of …

It has been argued that emotion, pain and cognitive control are functionally segregated in
distinct subdivisions of the cingulate cortex. However, recent observations encourage a …

Classic cognitive theory conceptualizes executive functions as involving multiple specific
domains, including initiation, inhibition, working memory, flexibility, planning, and vigilance …

Currently, there is debate among scholars regarding how to operationalize and measure
executive functions. These functions generally are referred to as “supervisory” cognitive …

Studies examining individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) have
suggested that low WMC individuals have particular deficits in attention control processes …

The effects of sleep deprivation on the neural substrates of cognition are poorly understood.
Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to measure the effects of 35 hours of …

The contribution of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) to human cognition remains unclear. The
rostral (rACC) and dorsal (dACC) ACC cortex are implicated in tasks that require increased …

The brain's attentional system identifies and selects information that is task-relevant while
ignoring information that is task-irrelevant. In two experiments using functional magnetic …

Individuals may show different responses to stressful events. Here, we investigate the
neurobiological basis of stress resilience, by showing that neural responsitivity of the …

The purpose of this experiment was to directly examine the neural mechanisms of
attentional control involved in the Simon task as compared to a spatial Stroop task using …
