The Role of Prefrontal Mixed Selectivity in Cognitive Control

Cognitive control is the ability to modify responses to a given stimulus according to changing contexts or goals ([Miller and Cohen, 2001][1]). It encompasses diverse functions, including working memory, attention, context and goal processing, and response inhibition. Given the multifaceted nature
