The sense of self in the phenomenology of agency and perception (2007, background): “Activity in these areas is however not restricted to self-related tasks as they are also recruited during controlled or strategic coordination in multiple demanding tasks where one for example integrates the outcomes of two or more separate cognitive operations in the pursuit of a higher behavioural”
The neural basis of metacognitive ability (2012, background): “top of the cognitive hierarchy, receiving information from other prefrontal cortical regions, cingulate and anterior temporal cortex [99].”
Evaluative and generative modes of thought during the creative process (2012, background): “008 neuroimaging and single-cell studies have suggested that RLPFC plays a higher-order meta-cognitive function that evaluates and integrates the outputs of prior stages of cognitive processing (Christoff and Gabrieli, 2000; Christoff et al., 2003; Fletcher and Henson, 2001; Petrides, 2005; Ramnani ”
A Neurocognitive Approach to Metacognitive Monitoring and Control (2008, background): “It is known that adjacent PFC regions are connected to each other as well as to distinct regions in the posterior cortex (Petrides & Pandya, 2001; Ramnani & Owen, 2004; Semendeferi, Armstrong, Schleicher, Zilles, & Van Hoesen, 2001).”
Is 2 + 2 = 4? Meta-analyses of brain areas needed for numbers and calculations (2011, background): “In a review, Ramnani and Owen (2004) described this region as coordinating outcomes of different cognitive operations in pursuit of a goal.”
Is emotional contagion special? An fMRI study on neural systems for affective and cognitive empathy (2008, background): “Activation was also observed in the frontal cortex around an area (BA 10) which is typically involved in executive functioning (Ramnani and Owen, 2004).”
Experience sampling during fMRI reveals default network and executive system contributions to mind wandering (2009, background): “of anterior PFC function (34, 36, 44-46, 49, 51) and meta-consciousness (23, 52), it may”
Gray matter correlates of fluid, crystallized, and spatial intelligence: Testing the P-FIT model (2009, background): “This brain region is thought to play a role in sustaining attention and in working memory (Kane & Engle, 2002; Ramnani & Owen, 2004; Wager & Smith, 2003).”
The Brain's Default Network (2008, background): “…by many task situations that require participants to make self-referential judgments and engage in other forms of self-relevant mental exploration (e.g., Gusnard et al. 2001, Kelley et al. 2002, Mitchell et al. 2006, see Adolphs 2003, Ramnani & Owen 2004, Amodio & Frith 2006 for relevant reviews).”
Neural Substrates of Spontaneous Musical Performance: An fMRI Study of Jazz Improvisation (2008, background): “The portion of the MPFC that was selectively activated during improvisation, the frontal polar cortex (Brodmann Area 10), remains poorly understood but appears to serve a broad-based integrative function, combining multiple cognitive operations in the pursuit of higher behavioral goals [26], in part”
The case for the development and use of “ecologically valid” measures of executive function in experimental and clinical neuropsychology (2006, background): “(This latter point is especially germane to the following discussion about the abilities supported by rostral PFC processes, since one theory of the role of this region in human cognition suggests that it is involved when two or more other processes have to be coordinated: Ramnani & Owen, 2004.)”
Prefrontal contributions to metacognition in perceptual decision-making (2012, background): “A role in metacognition is consistent with an anatomical positioning of rlPFC at the top of a cognitive hierarchy and the fact it receives information from dorsolateral prefrontal, cingulate, and anterior temporal cortexes (Ramnani and Owen, 2004).”
A core system for the implementation of task sets. (2006, neutral): “Koechlin et al., 1999, 2003; Konishi et al., 2005; Ramnani and Owen, 2004).”
Creativity, Within Reason (2016, background): “Ramnani and Owen (2004) observed that this cellular architecture is optimal for integrating information, noting the afferent connections these neurons receive from a variety of cortical regions, including other prefrontal regions.”
