The prefrontal cortex subserves executive function, the high-level cognitive ability that allows humans to generate behavior which does not depend only on external stimuli but also on internal goals. In this thesis we investigate the interaction between cognitive and motivational processes involved in executive function. We propose that the key concept to understand the functional architecture of lateral and medial prefrontal cortices is time-scale of information integration, which drives the fractionation of control processes along a caudo-rostral axis. Accordingly, posterior prefrontal regions drive immediate behavior adaptation on the basis of information conveyed by a stimulus and its context. Middle prefrontal regions are involved in m...
