Functional brain development in humans (2001, background): “Work on complex motor-skill-learning tasks in adult primates shows that the prefrontal cortex is often activated during the early stages of acquisition, but that this activation recedes to more posterior regions as expertise is acquire”
Working-memory capacity and the control of attention: the contributions of goal neglect, response competition, and task set to Stroop interference. (2003, background): “By this view, then, WM capacity is not limited to maintaining representations of external stimuli, but it also keeps action plans, goal representations, and task-relevant information in an easily accessible state, allowing them to appropriately bias responding (see also E. K. Miller, 2000 ).”
The primate cortico-cerebellar system: anatomy and function (2006, background): “These accounts can be taken to imply similar operations in prefrontal and cerebellar circuits that subserve flexible operations that allow us to achieve executive control (for example, the learning and application of rules and decision-makin”
The dual systems model: Review, reappraisal, and reaffirmation (2015, neutral): “Cognitive control encompasses the integration of several (often simultaneous) processes that support planning behavior in accord with one’s intentions (Miller, 2000).”
Dynamic Coding for Cognitive Control in Prefrontal Cortex (2013, background): “Numerous influential theories propose a key role for PFC in representing task-relevant content and rules in a temporary working memory (WM) store for guiding flexible behavior (Baddeley, 2003; Miller, 2000; Miller and Cohen, 2001).”
A quantitative theory of immediate visual recognition. (2007, methodology): “This robust visual information, as measured by our classifiers, could in principle be decoded by the targets of IT cortex such as prefrontal cortex to determine the class or identity of an object (Miller, 2000).”
Subthalamic nucleus stimulation reverses mediofrontal influence over decision threshold (2011, background): “2925" language="eng" relation="no"> It is widely believed that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) facilitates deliberative control over behavio”
When emotional valence modulates audiovisual integration (2012, neutral): “Cognitive control functions are associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC; Botvinick, Cohen, & Carter, 2004; Meienbrock, Naumer, Doehrmann, Singer, & Muckli, 2007; Miller, 2000).”
White matter integrity and cognition in chronic traumatic brain injury: a diffusion tensor imaging study. (2007, background): “…mental flexibility, trouble shifting sets, impaired attention, poor planning, lack of organization, problems with sequencing, impaired judgment, deficits in verbal fluency, problems with working memory, as well as increased impulsivity (Levin and Kraus, 1994; Miller, 2000; Godefroy, 2003).”
Prefrontal cortex activity during flexible categorization (2010, background): “…known to have neural correlates of shapebased categorization (Freedman et al., 2001, 2002, 2003; DeGutis and D’Esposito, 2007; Diester and Nieder, 2007) and is critical for cognitive flexibility (Goldman-Rakic, 1987; Fuster, 2000; Miller, 2000; Miller and Cohen, 2001; Poldrack and Rodriguez, 2004).”
Neural signatures of economic preferences for risk and ambiguity. (2006, background): “That impulsiveness modulates prefrontal cortex activation is hardly surprising, given prior suggestions that a central function of prefrontal cortex is to inhibit impulsive or automatic behaviors ( Miller, 2000 ) and that damage to prefrontal cortex (and/or neurotransmitter systems that modulate pre”
Bilateral Orbital Prefrontal Cortex Lesions in Rhesus Monkeys Disrupt Choices Guided by Both Reward Value and Reward Contingency (2004, positive): “Indeed, neurons in the prefrontal cortex show conjunctive coding for all these various pieces of information required for conditional responding: the sensory stimuli, the rules guiding behavior, the actions, and rewards (for review, see Miller, 2000 ).”
On Broca, brain, and binding: a new framework. (2005, background): “Electrophysiological recordings in the macaque monkey have shown that this area is important for sustaining information triggered by a transient event for many seconds [ 21 ].”
Using human brain lesions to infer function: a relic from a past era in the fMRI age? (2004, background): “For example, there is evidence that neurons in the prefrontal cortex of primates can adapt their behaviour on the basis of task demand”
