Be Prepared: Tune to FM-Theta for Cognitive Control
Abstract
Rhythmical brain activity around 5Hz can be observed in the prefrontal cortex under conditions requiring high levels of cognitive control. However, its temporal dynamics are still elusive. A recent research paper (Cooper et al. Neuroimage 2019;189:130-140) provides evidence that the temporal evolution of this frontal-midline theta activity reflects the style of cognitive control being implemented.
Keywords: medial prefrontal cortex; proactive executive control; reactive executive control; task-switching.
