Interactions between frontal and parietal cortex during cognitive control tasks: a combination of fMRI, single unit recordings and optogenetics. KU Leuven
To accomplish virtually any task, we rely on cognitive control in our brain, which includes memory, attention, planning, reasoning, decision making etc. To improve our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying such processes, we aim to investigate the behavioral and functional impact of very short and precise interruptions of activity in key nodes of the brain’s network involved in cognitive control processes. First, we will use ...
