Abstract: Executive functions is a controversial construct, under which are grouped different cognitive processes associated with\nconscious control of thought, behavior and emotion. Much of them, begin their development in childhood, finishing it in\nlate adolescence. In the anatomical level, executive function (EF) has been linked to the activity of the prefrontal\ncortex and the cingulate cortex, among other brain regions. The purpose of this article is to review the changes in\ncortical activity that has been associated with improvements in EF during childhood and adolescence. To this goal,\nthere will be a compilation of several fMRI studies that compare the performance and neuronal activity between\ninfants, adolescents and adults during the performance of EF tasks. It will conclude by stressing the need to expand\nthe number of comparative studies with such characteristics. Such research may facilitate the design of preventive and\ntherapeutic strategies for addressing numerous pathologies associated with the FE
