Conflict-induced behavioural adjustment: a clue to the executive functions of the prefrontal cortex
Abstract
The behavioural adjustment that follows the experience of conflict has been extensively studied in humans, leading to influential models of executive-control adjustment. Recent studies have revealed striking similarities in conflict-induced behavioural adjustment between humans and monkeys, indicating that monkeys can provide a model to study the underlying neural substrates and mechanisms of such behaviour. These studies have advanced our knowledge about the role of different prefrontal brain regions, including the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), in executive-control adjustment and suggest a pivotal role for the DLPFC in the dynamic tuning of executive control and, consequently, in behavioural adaptation to changing environments.

The observed activation increases in DLPFC and middle temporal gyrus align with previous findings on emotion regulation, cognitive control and pain processing.
“The observed activation increases in DLPFC and middle temporal gyrus align with previous findings on emotion regulation (Kalisch, 2009), cognitive control (Beckmann et al., 2009;Mansouri et al., 2009;Shackman et al., 2011) and pain processing (Beckmann et al., 2009;Shackman et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
