N2 - The executive functions that provide efficient neural control are essential for purposeful, planned, systematic activity, necessary for intelligent behaviour, and for achieving superior performance. At the same time, however, out-of-the-ordinary solutions are often due precisely to out-of-the-ordinary executive functions. Different patterns of appropriate neural networks may be beneficial in different situations, but there is a minimum below which dysfunction is overly significant and becomes an obstacle to the development and translation of talent into performance.
