The role of the prefrontal cortex in dynamic filtering

摘要: Functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological methods have broadened our understanding of the human prefrontal cortex. Converging evidence suggests that this brain region contributes to executive control information processing. Both cognitive neural-based models attempted delineate manner in which cortex mediates control. An analysis these findings four prominent aspects control—selecting, maintaining, updating, rerouting These are couched terms dynamic filtering theory, proposes acts as a selective gating or mechanism controls
