Transcranial Direct Corrent stimulation (tDCS) of the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) modulates reinforcement learning and decision-making under uncertainty: A doubleblind crossover study [PDF]
, 2017 Reinforcement learning refers to the ability to acquire information from the outcomes of prior choices (i.e. positive and negative) in order to make predictions on the effect of future decision and adapt the behaviour basing on past experiences.

Addressing the selective role of distinct prefrontal areas in response suppression: A study with brain tumor patients [PDF]
, 2017 The diverging evidence for functional localization of response inhibition within the prefrontal cortex might be justified by the still unclear involvement of other intrinsically related cognitive processes like response selection and sustained attention.

Anterior Prefrontal Cortex Contributes to Action Selection through Tracking of Recent Reward Trends [PDF]
, 2012 The functions of prefrontal cortex remain enigmatic, especially for its anterior sectors, putatively ranging from planning to self-initiated behavior, social cognition, task switching, and memory.

Neuroanatomical substrates for the volitional regulation of heart rate [PDF]
, 2015 The control of physiological arousal can assist in the regulation of emotional state. A subset cortical and subcortical brain regions are implicated in autonomic control of bodily arousal during emotional behaviors.

Affective modulation of cognitive control is determined by performance-contingency and mediated by ventromedial prefrontal and cingulate cortex [PDF]
, 2013 Cognitive control requires a fine balance between stability, the protection of an on-going task-set, and flexibility, the ability to update a task-set in line with changing contingencies.

Self-control in decision-making involves modulation of the vmPFC valuation system [PDF]
, 2009 Every day, individuals make dozens of choices between an alternative with higher overall value and a more tempting but ultimately inferior option. Optimal decision-making requires self-control.
