Complex problem-solving and planning involve the most anterior part of the frontal lobes
including the fronto-polar prefrontal cortex (FPPC) 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , which is especially well …

The prefrontal cortex subserves executive control – that is, the ability to select actions or
thoughts in relation to internal goals. Here, we propose a theory that draws upon concepts from …

The frontopolar cortex (FPC), the most anterior part of the frontal lobes, forms the apex of the
executive system underlying decision-making. Here, we review empirical evidence showing …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control: the ability to coordinate thoughts or
actions in relation with internal goals. Its functional architecture, however, remains poorly …

The frontal lobes subserve decision-making and executive control—that is, the selection
and coordination of goal-directed behaviors. Current models of frontal executive function, …

Highlights • PFC function overcomes key adaptive limitations in reinforcement learning (RL).
• Model-based RL in PFC provides offline planning abilities adjusting online basic RL. • …

In the past decade the field of cognitive sciences has seen an exponential growth in the number
of computational modeling studies. Previous work has indicated why and how candidate …

Visual words that are masked and presented so briefly that they cannot be seen may nevertheless
facilitate the subsequent processing of related words, a phenomenon called masked …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves cognitive control, that is, the ability to select thoughts
or actions in relation to internal goals. Little is known, however, about how the PFC combines …

The prefrontal cortex subserves executive control, ie, the organization of action or thought in
relation to internal goals. This brain region hosts a system of executive processes extending …
