Computational and neurobiological mechanisms underlying cognitive flexibility.
The ability to switch between multiple tasks is central to flexible behavior. Although switching between tasks is readily accomplished, a well established consequence of task switching (TS) is behavioral slowing. The source of this switch cost and the contribution of cognitive control to its resolution remain highly controversial. Here, we tested whether proactive interference arising from memo...
متن کاملStochastic Dynamics Underlying Cognitive Stability and Flexibility
Cognitive stability and flexibility are core functions in the successful pursuit of behavioral goals. While there is evidence for a common frontoparietal network underlying both functions and for a key role of dopamine in the modulation of flexible versus stable behavior, the exact neurocomputational mechanisms underlying those executive functions and their adaptation to environmental demands a...
متن کاملPrefrontal Cortical Mechanisms Underlying Individual Differences in Cognitive Flexibility and Stability
The pFC is critical for cognitive flexibility (i.e., our ability to flexibly adjust behavior to changing environmental demands), but also for cognitive stability (i.e., our ability to follow behavioral plans in the face of distraction). Behavioral research suggests that individuals differ in their cognitive flexibility and stability, and neurocomputational theories of working memory relate this...
متن کاملNeurobiological mechanisms underlying emotional processing in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
Affective disorders are frequent and disabling conditions in multiple sclerosis; however, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are still poorly understood and investigated. Previous structural imaging studies have suggested that damage of frontal and temporal cortices plays an important role in the genesis of emotional disorders in multiple sclerosis, although psychosocial factors have bee...
متن کاملNeurobiological mechanisms underlying the blocking effect in aversive learning.
Current theories of classical conditioning assume that learning depends on the predictive relationship between events, not just on their temporal contiguity. Here we employ the classic experiment substantiating this reasoning-the blocking paradigm-in combination with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether human amygdala responses in aversive learning conform to thes...
