| summary | The prefrontal cortex subserves executive control, i.e. the ability to select and motivate thoughts or actions in relation with internal goals. In the last decade, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has provided key new insights about the prefrontal executive function. In this lecture, I will present the fMRI experiments and theory we have developed to understand the organization of executive control in the human prefrontal cortex which combines motivational factors and selection processes in the service of decision-making. |
