Cognitive & Executive Networks
Cognitive and executive functions help us pay attention, remember what we’re doing, and control our responses. These entries cover working memory load, inhibitory control, and the networks of brain areas involved in these abilities. The executive control network, for example, is involved in keeping our behavior directed toward a goal when other things compete for our attention.
