Spontaneous switching rate antagonistically modulates frontal functional coupling, separating flexible task switching from distractor inhibition in healthy humans.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging in healthy participants reveals reduced inferior frontal junction activation and lower functional coupling during task switching.
Supports attractor stability in recurrent prefrontal working memory networks as a biologically plausible model for individual differences in cognitive flexibility.
