The physiological origin of task-evoked systemic artefacts in functional near infrared spectroscopy (2012, methodology): “This finding is in correspondence with the fMRI data, and can be attributed to the processing of task-related sub-goals (Braver and Bongiolatti, 2002).”
Anterior prefrontal cortex: insights into function from anatomy and neuroimaging (2004, background): “For example, in their discussion of the role of the aPFC in branching and sub-goal processing, Braver et al.76 reconceptualize episodic retrieval in terms of monitoring sub-goals in working memory.”
Consequences, Action, and Intention as Factors in Moral Judgments: An fMRI Investigation (2006, background): “Some argue that sociopathic problems arise because one of the functions of the frontal pole is to maintain long-term goals while more immediate goals are being processed (Braver & Bongiolatti, 2002; Koechlin, Basso, Pietrini, Panzer, & Grafman, 1999).”
Banishing the homunculus: making working memory work. (2006, methodology): “This prediction has been tested directly in the 1-2-AX task (Kroger et al., in preparation), and in a number of other tasks that also share this same kind of inner/outer loop structure (e.g., Braver & Bongiolatti, 2002; Koechlin, Corrado, & Grafman, 2000; Koechlin, Ody, & Kouneiher, 2003).”
Explaining the many varieties of working memory variation: Dual mechanisms of cognitive control. (2007, background): “…a significant increase in left dorsolateral PFC activity (exactly replicating previous studies, (Barch et al., 1997; Barch et al., 2001; T. S. Braver & Bongiolatti, 2002)), while older adults actually showed a delay-related decrease in the activity of this region, producing a significant age…”
An information theoretical approach to prefrontal executive function. (2007, neutral): “compatible with the model describedhere.Finally,a wealth of other data indicates that episodic retrieval [31], prospective memory [32] and subgoaling [ 33 ] recruit the rostral PFC, supporting a role in arbitrating among multiple tasksets during branching for the most rostral regions at the apex of ”
Who did what to whom? The neural basis of argument hierarchies during language comprehension (2005, background): “001 uncorrected) and with a volume greater than 216 mm (6 measured voxels) were considered (Braver and Bongiolatti, 2002; Forman et al., 1995).”
The necessity of rostrolateral prefrontal cortex for higher-level sequential behavior (2015, neutral): “…al., 2012), and monitoring superordinate goals to provide a top-down superordinate signal over the course of several trials (Badre and Wagner, 2004; Braver and Bongiolatti, 2002; Dreher et al., 2008; Nee et al., 2014; De Pisapia et al., 2012) (see Supplemental Information for further discussion).”
