Cognitive control processes refer to our ability to coordinate thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals. In the fronto-lateral cortex such processes have been primarily related to mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (mid-DLPFC). However, recent brain-imaging and meta-analytic studies suggest that a region located more posterior in the fronto-lateral cortex plays a pivotal role in cognitive control as well. This region has been termed the inferior frontal junction area and can be functionally and structurally distinguished from mid-DLPFC.
认知控制过程指的是我们根据内部目标协调思想和行动的能力。在额叶外侧皮质，这些过程主要与背外侧前额叶皮质中部（mid-DLPFC）相关。然而，最近的脑成像和荟萃分析研究表明，额叶外侧皮质中更靠后的一个区域在认知控制中也起着关键作用。这个区域被称为额下回交界区，在功能和结构上可与背外侧前额叶皮质中部区分开来。
