Self-Other Neural Representational Distinction is Associated with Distorted Social Predictions in Social Anxiety

This study investigates how social anxiety affects self-other neural distinctions and social predictions, finding that higher SA correlates with greater self-other representational separation in the pgACC and altered prediction tracking in the precuneus.

Cost-benefit Tradeoff Mediates the Rule- to Memory-based Processing Transition during Practice

The paper shows that practice-induced strategy shifts in task learning are mediated by cost-benefit analysis, supported by computational modeling and fMRI data.

The Lifespan Trajectories of Brain Activities Related to Cognitive Control

This study analyzes lifespan changes in brain activation related to cognitive control using a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies, finding an inverted U-shaped trajectory and heterogeneous patterns across brain networks.

Unveiling consistency in flexibility: the role of reward and cognitive control in moral decisions

This study investigates how reward and cognitive control influence moral decisions by analyzing self-consistency and flexibility using mouse-tracking and fMRI.

Conflicts are parametrically encoded: initial evidence for a cognitive space view to reconcile the debate of domain-general and domain-specific cognitive control

The paper proposes a cognitive space theory to reconcile domain-general and domain-specific cognitive control by showing conflicts are organized in a low-dimensional space based on similarity.

Distinct Brain Mechanisms for Conflict Adaptation Within and Across Conflict Types

This study identifies distinct neural mechanisms for conflict adaptation within and across conflict types using fMRI, showing different activation and deactivation patterns in task-positive and task-negative networks.
