Prefrontal Cortex and Anterior Cingulate Cue-Related Activity during a Cognitive Control Task

In the current research, we titrated the window of allowable responses to equate difficulty levels for preparing to overcome prepotent response trials and automatic trials to further explore the roles of the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex in cognitive control. [...]we found motor co...

Description
Summary:In the current research, we titrated the window of allowable responses to equate difficulty levels for preparing to overcome prepotent response trials and automatic trials to further explore the roles of the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex in cognitive control. [...]we found motor cortex activity during cue presentations, which may suggest that participants were preparing responses in advance of the probe.
