Neural Basis of Motivational and Cognitive Control

Rogier B. Mars, Jerome Sallet, Matthew F. S. Rushworth, and Nick Yeung

Abstract

This book offers a range of perspectives on a simple problem: How does the brain choose efficiently and adaptively among options to ensure coherent, goal-directed behavior? The contributors, from fields as varied as anatomy, psychology, learning theory, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, behavioral economics, and computational modeling, present an overview of key approaches in the study of cognitive control and decision making. The book presents a survey of cutting-edge research on the topic. The chapters consider such topics as the anatomical and physiological basis of control, examining core com ... More

Keywords: brain, goal-directed behavior, anatomy, cognitive control, learning theory, neuroimaging, neurophysiology, behavioral economics, computational modeling, cerebral cortex
