This study reveals that the salience network and temporoparietal junction are crucial for cognitive control during both correct and incorrect responses. Error processing specifically involves the dorsal posterior cingulate cortex, posterior thalamus, and left superior frontal gyrus.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Cognitive Psychology
- Neuroimaging
Background:
- Error processing research often focuses on the posterior medial frontal cortex.
- The roles of other brain regions in error detection and conflict resolution are frequently undervalued.
Conclusions:
- Beyond the medial frontal cortex, broader networks support cognitive control and error processing.
- Distinct neural substrates underlie successful performance versus error detection, potentially reflecting failures in activating task-relevant processes.
