Abstract:
Human behaviour, though appearing seamless, is comprised of a number of differing
and interacting cognitive processes. In this dissertation I attempted to establish the
anatomical networks subserving a number of different executive functions, which are
crucial for normal human learning and behaviour with the use of functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). These functions were the maintenance of task set,
sustaining attentional focus, inhibition of prepotent responses and the detection of
errors or situations in which an error is likely to occur.
