Executive functions and cognitive-emotional regulation: anatomical and functional connections

Executive functions have being target in many studies focusing on the brain-behavior relationship, especially those involving the development of social skills and emotional control in children and teenagers, as well as in frontal lobe lesion in adults. Considering that these functions are fundamental for adaptation in society, its importance as a phylogenetic evolutionary mechanism for emotion regulation and control stands out. Taking this into account, this paper has the objective to build a general overview about executive functions from studies and findings presented by current literature, focusing in neuro-anatomical characteristics and its relation with behavior, especially in cognitive and emotional control.
