Task-specific topology of brain networks supporting working memory and inhibition.

ABSTRACT: Network neuroscience explores the brain's connectome, demonstrating that dynamic neural networks support cognitive functions. This study investigates how distinct cognitive abilities-working memory and cognitive inhibitory control-are supported by unique brain network configurations constructed by estimating whole-brain networks using mutual information. The study involved 195 participants who completed the Sternberg Item Recognition task and Flanker tasks while undergoing electroencephalography recording. A mixed-effects linear model analyzed the influence of network metrics on cognitive performance, considering individual differences and task-specific dynamics. The findings indicate that working memory and cognitive inhibitory control are associated with different network attributes, wit
