Triadic model of the neurobiology of motivated behavior in adolescence (2005, background): “Finally, circuits of the prefrontal cortex, owing to their widely accepted role in cognitive control (Miller, 1999, 2000), help to orchestrate the relative contribution of the approach and avoidant behavioral systems, thus providing a supervisory or modulatory control of behavior.”
Dissociable Neural Pathways Are Involved in the Recognition of Emotion in Static and Dynamic Facial Expressions (2003, unknown): “These conjoint frontal activations may thus relate to a putative mechanism for visual attention (Desimone and Duncan, 1995; Miller, 1999) by acting to hold the mental representation of emotions in working memory to guide the top-down selection of facial and body features encoding an emotion.”

Segregation of working memory functions within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (2000, background): “Moreover, some neurons throughout the DLPFC are activated by both spatial and nonspatial visual stimuli during WM tasks if these stimuli are presented within central vision (Quintana et al. 1988; Rao et al. 1997; Rainer et al. 1998; Miller 1999).”
