Motivation and cognitive control: from behavior to neural mechanism. (2015, background): “Specifically, a variety of studies have proposed that the lateral PFC may house a discrete set of hierarchically organized subregions, subserving different levels of control function (Badre 2008).”
Situating the default-mode network along a principal gradient of macroscale cortical organization (2016, background): “Rather than the more rostral areas located farther along in the processing hierarchy (18, 19), two distinct hierarchical gradients of temporal- and feature-related abstraction converge in middle lateral prefrontal cortex (60).”
Emotion and the Prefrontal Cortex: An Integrative Review (2017, background): “Furthermore, anatomical connectivity and functional activation patterns also suggest a rostro-caudal (anterior-posterior) organization (Badre, 2008; Badre & D’Esposito, 2009; Christoff & Gabrieli, 2000; Christoff & Keramatian, 2007; Koechlin & Summerfield, 2007; Petrides, 2005).”
The Nature of Executive Function (EF) Deficits in Daily Life Activities in Adults with ADHD and Their Relationship to Performance on EF Tests (2011, background): “Like the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) on which EF seems largely based, these levels arise as a consequence of (a) the progressively higher levels of goals and the progressively more complex behavioral structures that are managed from the rostral to caudal, posterior to ante”
Where smart brains are different: A quantitative meta-analysis of functional and structural brain imaging studies on intelligence (2015, background): “The frontopolar cortex is assumed to support most abstract, higher-order processes in the hierarchy of cognitive control (Badre, 2008; Koechlin, Basso, Pietrini, Panzer, & Grafman, 1999), and as such, it is critical for performance on intelligence tests.”
Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance (2010, background): “For example, progressively anterior and dorsal subregions of the prefrontal cortex have been found to be associated with more abstract representations (Badre, 2008; Koechlin & Summerfield, 2007; Ramnani, & Owen, 2004).”
Hierarchical Active Inference: A Theory of Motivated Control (2018, background): “Hierarchical processing has also been advanced to explain the role of dorsolateral (dlPFC [28]) and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC [3,29,30]) in control and motivation, respectively, see also [31 – 33].”
Hierarchical models of behavior and prefrontal function. (2008, background): “In particular, a renewed focus on hierarchical structure in behavior has appeared in cognitive psychology [3,4], developmental psychology [5,6] ,n europsychology [7] and, perhaps most strikingly, neuroscience [ 8 ,9].”
Hierarchically organized behavior and its neural foundations: A reinforcement-learning perspective (2008, background): “Behavioral hierarchy has also been of longstanding interest within neuroscience, where it has been considered to relate closely to prefrontal cortical function (Badre, 2008; Botvinick, 2008; Courtney, Roth, & Sala, 2007; Fuster, 1997; Koechlin, Ody, & Kouneiher, 2003; Wood & Grafman, 2003).”
Mechanisms of hierarchical reinforcement learning in corticostriatal circuits 1: computational analysis. (2012, background): “Often, however, control over action requires simultaneously maintaining features of the context that are relevant for action selection at different levels of abstraction and over varying timescales (Koechlin and Summerfield 2007; Badre 2008; Botvinick 2008).”
Major Depressive Disorder is Associated with Broad Impairments on Neuropsychological Measures of Executive Function: A Meta-Analysis and Review (2012, background): “Multiple theories have been proposed for the organization of PFC and the role of different PFC regions in EF (e.g., Badre, 2008; Banich, 2009; Christoff & Gabrieli, 2000; Duncan & Owen, 2000; Petrides, 2005; Stuss & Alexander, 2007).”
Mechanisms of hierarchical reinforcement learning in cortico-striatal circuits 2: evidence from fMRI. (2012, background): “…be organized systematically along the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobes, such that control based on progressively abstract representations is associated with progressively rostral frontal regions (Koechlin et al. 2003; Koechlin and Jubault 2006; Badre and D'Esposito 2007; Badre 2008).”
