Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has proven useful for identifying brain regions involved in cognitive control. As such, this technique allows us to test whether tasks involving putatively distinct con-trol processes recruit separable brain networks.

2019年6月1日 · A longitudinal whole-brain, voxel-based comparison image demonstrating increased activation in the right inferior frontal gyrus (in red/orange) between time 1 (9 years) to time 2 (11 years). Reduced or unchanged activation (in blue) was found in other regions of the prefrontal cortex.

2024年9月30日 · Located at the very front of the brain, just behind your forehead, the prefrontal cortex is the primary seat of executive function. It’s like the CEO’s office in the corporate structure of your brain, overseeing and coordinating a vast network of neural activities.

The term "executive function" (or "executive functions", or "executive functioning") is relatively new in cognitive neurosciences. The observation that the frontal lobes were involved in regulatory behaviors, such as reasoning, problem-solving, planning, inhibiting responses, strategy development and implementation, and working memory, resulted ...

The frontal lobe in your brain manages executive function. While anything that affects your brain tissue can affect your frontal lobe and your executive function skills, some neurodevelopmental (brain development-related) conditions specifically involve frontal lobe effects and symptoms.

2019年8月30日 · The prefrontal cortex plays a key role in monitoring executive functions, but other brain areas are also involved (Elliott, 2003). Intact frontal processes, although not synonymous with intact executive functioning, are an integral part of it. Research directed to localize executive functions to discrete brain areas has been developed.

On the basis of neuroimaging evidence, the authors show that the right prefrontal cortex, as well as the parietal and temporal lobes, plays an important role in executive function.

2000年1月1日 · One region of the human brain consistently associated with executive function is the anterior cingulate cortex, located on the medial aspect of the frontal cortex adjacent to the corpus callosum.

2024年1月31日 · Theoretical models suggest that executive functions rely on both domain-general and domain-specific processes. Supporting this view, prior brain imaging studies have revealed that executive activations converge and diverge …

Findings from fMRI studies of executive functioning development paint a fascinating but complex picture. Some studies, for example, report that younger children show less prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in the context of executive function tasks than do older participants, findings that are
