In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …

The anterior insular cortex (AIC) is implicated in a wide range of conditions and behaviours,
from bowel distension and orgasm, to cigarette craving and maternal love, to decision …

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

FMRI studies of response inhibition consistently reveal frontal lobe activation. Localization
within the frontal cortex, however, varies across studies and appears dependent on the …

To detect erroneous action outcomes is necessary for flexible adjustments and therefore a
prerequisite of adaptive, goal-directed behavior. While performance monitoring has been …

Response inhibition refers to the suppression of actions that are inappropriate in a given
context and that interfere with goal-driven behavior. Studies using a range of methodological …

The anterior insula has been hypothesized to provide a link between attention‐related
problem solving and salience systems during the coordination and evaluation of task …

Voluntary action is fundamental to human existence. Recent research suggests that volition
involves a specific network of brain activity, centered on the fronto-median cortex. An …

Complex behavior requires a flexible system that maintains task performance in the context
of specific goals, evaluating behavioral progress, adjusting behavior as needed, and …
