abstract = {Surprising events may be relevant or irrelevant for
behavior, requiring either flexible adjustment or
stabilization of our model of the world and according
response strategies. Cognitive flexibility and stability in
response to environmental demands have been described as
separable cognitive states, associated with activity of
striatal and lateral prefrontal regions, respectively. It so
far remains unclear, however, whether these two states act
in an antagonistic fashion and which neural mechanisms
mediate the selection of respective responses, on the one
hand, and a transition between these states, on the other.
In this study, we tested whether the functional dichotomy
between striatal and prefrontal activity applies for the
separate functions of updating (in response to changes in
the environment, i.e., switches) and shielding (in response
to chance occurrences of events violating expectations,
i.e., drifts) of current predictions. We measured brain
activity using fMRI while 20 healthy participants performed
a task that required to serially predict upcoming items.
Switches between predictable sequences had to be indicated
via button press while sequence omissions (drifts) had to be
ignored. We further varied the probability of switches and
drifts to assess the neural network supporting the
transition between flexible and stable cognitive states as a
function of recent performance history in response to
environmental demands. Flexible switching between models was
associated with activation in medial pFC (BA 9 and BA 10),
whereas stable maintenance of the internal model
corresponded to activation in the lateral pFC (BA 6 and
inferior frontal gyrus). Our findings extend previous
studies on the interplay of flexibility and stability,
suggesting that different prefrontal regions are activated
by different types of prediction errors, dependent on their
behavioral requirements. Furthermore, we found that striatal
activation in response to switches and drifts was modulated
by participants' successful behavior toward these events,
suggesting the striatum to be responsible for response
selections following unpredicted stimuli. Finally, we
observed that the dopaminergic midbrain modulates the
transition between different cognitive states, thresholded
by participants' individual performance history in response
to temporal environmental demands},
