Human dorsal anterior cingulate cortex neurons mediate ongoing behavioural adaptation

05.17.12 Posted in Human Neurophysiology Studies by

The ability to optimize behavioural performance when confronted with continuously evolving environmental demands is a key element of human cognition. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC), which lies on the medial surface of the frontal lobes, is important in regulating cognitive control. Hypotheses about its function include guiding reward-based decision making, monitoring for conflict between […]
