To compare findings across species, neuroscience relies on cross-species homologies,
particularly in terms of brain areas. For cingulate cortex, a structure implicated in behavioural …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has a near-ubiquitous presence in the
neuroscience of cognitive control. It has been implicated in a diversity of functions, from …

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 …

Midcingulate cortex (MCC) has risen in prominence as human imaging identifies unique
structural and functional activity therein and this is the first review of its structure …

The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

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

The cingulate cortex is a mosaic of different anatomical fields, whose functional
characterization is still a matter of debate. In humans, one method that may provide useful …

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 …

For humans, like many animal species, survival depends on effective social functioning.
Social skills facilitate our access to sustenance, protection and mates, and socially adept …

A neglected question regarding cognitive control is how control processes might detect
situations calling for their involvement. The authors propose here that the demand for control …
