Towards a Universal Taxonomy of Macro-scale Functional Human Brain Networks (2019, neutral): “…network (Seeley et al. 2007), the multiple demand system (Duncan 2010), the extrinsic mode network (Hugdahl et al. 2015), the domain general system (Fedorenko et al. 2013), the frontoparietal control network (Dosenbach et al. 2008; Vincent et al. 2008) and the cognitive control network (Niendam et…”
Exploring the role of the posterior middle temporal gyrus in semantic cognition: Integration of anterior temporal lobe with executive processes (2016, positive): “(1) Domain-general executive control implemented by the MDN (Duncan, 2010) and the frontoparietal control system (Power and Petersen, 2013)may support the capacity to engage and sustain a particular type of semantic retrieval in line with the task instructions, as well as the application of top-down”
The role of prefrontal cortex in cognitive control and executive function (2021, methodology): “The FPN and CON are functionally separable brain networks that enable flexible adaptive control and sustained taskset maintenance [142]; together, they form the MD network [143], a set of brain regions that is active during a range of tasks that require goal-directed behavior [139].”
Process Overlap Theory: A Unified Account of the General Factor of Intelligence (2016, background): “This methodological problem was addressed by Fedorenko, Duncan, and Kanwisher (2013), who undertook a study looking at activation overlap within individual subjects.”
Origins of the brain networks for advanced mathematics in expert mathematicians (2016, background): “In fact, they coincide with regions previously associated with a “multiple-demand” system (29) active in many effortful problem-solving tasks (30) and dissociable from languagerelated areas (46).”
Radical flexibility of neural representation in frontoparietal cortex and the challenge of linking it to behaviour (2024, unknown): “…a specific network of regions, situated mainly in lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC), anterior insula, dorsomedial frontal cortex, and intraparietal sulcus (Figure 1a), is active for many types of cognitive demand [1–3] and linearly predicts deficits in fluid intelligence after focal lesion [4].”
Linking the multiple-demand cognitive control system to human electrophysiological activity (2025, unknown): “This network, also commonly referred to as the frontoparietal control network or the task-positive network, spans distributed but highly specific regions in the frontal, parietal, and temporal cortices (Assem et al., 2020; Fedorenko et al., 2013).”
Aperiodic and oscillatory systems underpinning human domain-general cognition (2024, unknown): “Notably, although brain activity measured by fMRI and positron emission tomography (PET) in the MD network increasewithtaskdemand 2,6,63 ,wefoundthataperiodicbroadbandpowerin frontoparietal cortex decreased with task demand.”
Concurrent neuroimaging and neurostimulation reveals a causal role for dlPFC in coding of task-relevant information (2020, background): “These areas are known to be engaged by a wide variety of task demands (e.g. Duncan & Owen, 2000; Fedorenko et al., 2013) and have been posited to play a fundamental role in executive function and cognitive control (Corbetta & Shulman, 2002; Cole & Schneider, 2007).”
