Cognitive-motor (C-M) interference is a phenomenon during which demands from concurrent cognitive and motor tasks create competition for available neural resources. Research introduces this competition using dual-task designs to compare performance on single-task situations to dual-tasks, which require both motor and cognitive engagement. However, while some individuals experience C-M interference, others have a more integrative effect, presenting as better adaptation to multi-modal demands. Little is known about how this C-M relationship develops, nor what factors play a role in the integrati

Previous neuroanatomical tracing studies on monkey ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) suggest the existence of a rostro-caudal organization, in which caudal and middle areas are mainly involved in controlling oculomotor and skeletomotor behaviors, respectively, while rostral ones in more abstract operations (Gerbella et al. 2017). A recent study (Rozzi et al. 2023) demonstrated that this region, as a whole, processes contextual information relevant for action guidance. To address whether there are potential functional differences within specific VLPFC areas, we employed Demixed Principal
