  • Title: Anterior cingulate conflict monitoring and adjustments in control.
    Author: Kerns JG, Cohen JD, MacDonald AW, Cho RY, Stenger VA, Carter CS.
    Journal: Science; 2004 Feb 13; 303(5660):1023-6. PubMed ID: 14963333.
    Abstract:
    Conflict monitoring by the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been posited to signal a need for greater cognitive control, producing neural and behavioral adjustments. However, the very occurrence of behavioral adjustments after conflict has been questioned, along with suggestions that there is no direct evidence of ACC conflict-related activity predicting subsequent neural or behavioral adjustments in control. Using the Stroop color-naming task and controlling for repetition effects, we demonstrate that ACC conflict-related activity predicts both greater prefrontal cortex activity and adjustments in behavior, supporting a role of ACC conflict monitoring in the engagement of cognitive control.
