AB  - The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is central to self-regulation and has been 
      implicated in generating a cluster of event-related potential components, 
      collectively referred to as medial frontal negativities (MFNs). These MFNs are 
      elicited while individuals monitor behavioral and environmental consequences, and 
      include the error-related negativity, Nogo N2, and the feedback-related 
      negativity. A growing cognitive and affective neuroscience literature indicates 
      that the activation of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and surrounding medial 
      prefrontal regions during performance monitoring is not only influenced by task 
      context, but that these patterns of activity also vary as a function of 
      individual differences (e.g., personality, temperament, clinical and non-clinical 
      symptomatology, socio-political orientation, and genetic polymorphisms), as well 
      as interactions between individual differences and task context. In this review 
      we survey the neuroscience literature on the relations between performance 
      monitoring, personality, task context, and brain functioning with a focus on the 
      MPFC. We relate these issues to the role of affect in the paradigms used to 
      elicit performance-monitoring neural responses and highlight some of the 
      theoretical and clinical implications of this research. We conclude with a 
      discussion of the complexity of these issues and how some of the basic 
      assumptions required for their interpretation may be clarified with future 
      research.
