Influence of cognitive control and mismatch on the N2 component of the ERP: a review. (2007, background): “…5 studies of negative feedback, found that all reported activation in medial prefrontal cortex, including Brodmann's areas 24 and 32 of the anterior cingulate (ACC), but also activations in motor areas 6 and 8 (Ridderinkhof et al., 2004; see also Gehring & Willoughby, 2004; Taylor et al., 2006).”
Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity. (2009, methodology): “For the RCZ and the NAc the search volumes were defined as a sphere with 15 mm radius around the center (x = 4, y = 15, z = 43 and x = ±11, y = 11, z = À2, respectively) based on the results of a previous study (Knutson et al., 2005) and meta-analysis (Ridderinkhof et al., 2004).”
Mechanism for top-down control of working memory capacity (2009, neutral): “4Bd), associated with regulation of dlPFC activity and response conflict (35), also exhibited a pattern of activity consistent with boosting.”
The Reward Circuit: Linking Primate Anatomy and Human Imaging (2010, background): “Thus, the dACC and dPFC may work together in a complementary manner to compare valued options, choose among them, and channel that choice into a course of action that promotes acquiring the most valuable option (MacDonald et al , 2000; Ridderinkhof et al , 2004).”
Neural mechanisms underlying the induction and relief of perceptual curiosity (2012, background): “…activated by a broad range of aversive conditions (including pain, uncertainty, errors and disgust) are the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC; Ridderinkhof et al., 2004; Shackman et al., 2011) and the anterior insular cortex (AIC; Peyron et al., 2000; Singer et al., 2009); hence we predicted…”
A current overview of consumer neuroscience (2008, background): “The prefrontal cortex is a very important brain structure linked to decision-making (Ridderinkhof et al., 2004).”
Prefrontal contributions to metacognition in perceptual decision-making (2012, result): “This hypothesis is in line with reports that dACC activity increases under conflict and perceptual task difficulty (Heekeren et al., 2008; Ridderinkhof et al., 2004), while PPC is sensitive to risk in economic decision making (Huettel et al., 2005; Symmonds et al., 2011).”
The neural basis of decision making. (2007, background): “Insights into the underlying analyzing the distributions of latencies from visual instruction to saccade initiation.”
Resolving emotional conflict: a role for the rostral anterior cingulate cortex in modulating activity in the amygdala. (2006, background): “The anterior cingulate cortex has frequently been thought to play a critical role in executive attention (Botvinick et al., 2004; Bush et al., 2000; Carter et al., 1999; Ridderinkhof et al., 2004).”
Neural mechanisms involved in error processing: A comparison of errors made with and without awareness (2005, background): “This dorsal ACC/pre-SMA region was of interest due to the previous studies that have identified its activity during error processing (Garavan et al., 2003; Ridderinkhof et al., 2004; Ullsperger and von Cramon, 2001).”
Why do beliefs about intelligence influence learning success? A social cognitive neuroscience model. (2006, background): “The role of monitoring for goal-conflicting information has typically been ascribed to regions of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC; Botvinick et al., 2001; Ridderinkhof et al., 2004), and indeed, interactions between ACC and frontal-parietal regions have been proposed by functional magnetic resonance ”
