The best laid plans: Computational principles of ACC

◽
Despite continual debate for the past thirty years about the function of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), its key contribution to neurocognition remains unknown. Here we review computational models that illustrate three core principles of ACC function (related to hierarchy, world models and cost), as well as four constraints on the neural implementation of these principles (related to modularity, binding, encoding and learning and regulation). These observations suggest a role for ACC in hierarchical model-based hierarchical reinforcement learning, which instantiates a mechanism for motivating the execution of high-level plans.
