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 …

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 studies …

Cognitive control supports flexible behavior by selecting actions that are consistent with our
goals and appropriate for our environment. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has an established …

How does ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) control mnemonic processing? Alternative
models propose that VLPFC guides top-down (controlled) retrieval of knowledge from long-…

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to flexible and organized action. Recent theoretical
and empirical results suggest that the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobes may reflect a …

… The models depicted in Figure IC,D are representative of two such classes of hypothetical …
Figure ID depicts a hierarchical control architecture. Here, the contextual layer that influences …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) supports flexible behavior by mediating cognitive control, though the
elemental forms of control supported by PFC remain a central debate. Dorsolateral PFC (…

The present study examined the contributions of prefrontal cortex (PFC) subregions to two
component processes underlying verbal analogical reasoning: semantic retrieval and …

Although we often encounter circumstances with which we have no prior experience, we
rapidly learn how to behave in these novel situations. Such adaptive behavior relies on abstract …

Cognitive control permits us to make decisions about abstract actions, such as whether to e-mail
versus call a friend, and to select the concrete motor programs required to produce …
