Cortex and Memory: Emergence of a New Paradigm (2009, unknown): “Especially persuasive in this respect are the studies by Badre and DʼEsposito (2007) and Koechlin, Ody, and Kouneiher (2003).”
The necessity of rostrolateral prefrontal cortex for higher-level sequential behavior (2015, unknown): “Moreover, neuroimaging (Badre and D’Esposito, 2007;Koechlinet al., 2003) andneuropsychological evidence (Badre et al.”
Organisation of executive functions: Hemispheric asymmetries (2012, methodology): “…the task needs to be multicomponential, it should use a ‘‘scaffolding’’ design and be accompanied by a good task analysis to allow that proper contrasts between conditions identify precise cognitive components based on distinct prefrontal nodes (e.g., Badre & d’Esposito, 2007; Stuss et al., 2005).”
Hierarchical models of behavior and prefrontal function. (2008, background): “For example, Badre and D’Esposito [ 39 ] have found that frontal activation shifts rostrally as successive layers of conditional dependency are added to a behavioral task.”
Brain Mechanisms of Concept Learning (2019, background): “Hierarchical control theory has the most general account of rlPFC function, and suggests that it sits atop a rostrocaudal gradient of abstraction in the lateral cortex (Badre and D’Esposito, 2007, 2009).”
Mechanisms of hierarchical reinforcement learning in cortico-striatal circuits 2: evidence from fMRI. (2012, methodology): “ROIs were defined in 2 ways: 1) the ROIs for PMd, prePMd, inferior frontal sulcus (IFS), and frontal polar cortex (FPC) were taken from a prior fMRI study of hierarchical cognitive control (Badre and D’Esposito 2007) based on their association with first-, second-, third-, and fourth-order rule exec”
Exploring the role of the posterior middle temporal gyrus in semantic cognition: Integration of anterior temporal lobe with executive processes (2016, unknown): “Thus, a more semantic response in anterior/ventral parts of IFG may be broadly in line with the proposal that anterior areas in IFG establish and maintain priorities for what is to be retrieved, while the short-term process of selection itself is implemented in posterior regions of IFG (Badre and D'”
Default network activity, coupled with the frontoparietal control network, supports goal-directed cognition (2010, unknown): “…including the role of RLPFC in cognitive control (Koechlin et al., 1999), the hierarchical organization of control processes in lateral prefrontal cortex (Badre and D'Esposito, 2007), and the role of the aIPL in the control of attention (Corbetta et al., 2008) and memory (Cabeza et al., 2008).”
Is the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobe hierarchical? (2009, background): “Although different forms of abstraction were tested — temporal abstraction in Koechlin et al. 19 and policy abstraction in Badre et al. 16 (see BOX 1) — the activation patterns observed in these two experiments were highly convergent. c | Race et al. 113 aimed to locate a gradient of abstraction alo”
The Potential Benefits of Mindfulness Training in Early Childhood: A Developmental Social Cognitive Neuroscience Perspective (2012, background): “…the iterative reprocessing of information via neural circuits that coordinate hierarchically arranged regions of PFC (Bunge & Zelazo, 2006; cf. Badre & D’Esposito, 2007; Botvinick, 2008; Christoff & Gabrieli, 2000; O’Reilly, 2010) is essential for the deliberate selection, activation (or…”
