Cognitive control is defined as the provision of top-down support for task relavent pricess with representation of task demands being used to bias processing in favor of task-relevent stimuli and responces[1]. A number of studies have suggested that network of cortical areas - inclusing dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC, vlPFC) and aterior cingulate cortex (ACC) - has a role in cognitive control[2][3][4][5][6].

OFC also connected to impulsivty and self control. lack of activation in the OFC will result impulsivity. Testosterone seems to inhibit the OFC and result impulsivity<re>Pranjal H. Mehta and Jennifer Beer, 2010, Neural Mechanisms of the Testosterone–Aggression Relation: The Role of Orbitofrontal Cortex</ref>.
