title: Cognitive neuroscience: resolving conflict in and over the medial frontal cortex.
abstract: The medial surface of the brain's frontal lobe has been implicated both in the voluntary initiation of action and in monitoring actions in situations where several conflicting responses are possible. Recent work casts light on how these functions are parcelled out in the medial frontal cortex.
