Preparing to stop an inappropriate action requires keeping in mind the task goal and using
this to influence the action control system. We tested the hypothesis that different subregions …

The role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the control of behavior remains a
topic of ongoing controversy. The discovery of sustained neural discharge in monkey …

Goal-oriented signals from the prefrontal cortex gate the selection of appropriate actions in
the basal ganglia. Key nodes within this fronto-basal ganglia action regulation network are …

It is widely accepted that dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is activated at the time of
action generation in humans. However, the previous functional neuroimaging studies that …

This study investigated the preparatory control of motor inhibition and motor execution using
a stop signal task (SST) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In the SST, a …

Functional imaging studies reveal that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is more
active when we select one from a number of possible responses. The same region is …

Recent actions can benefit or disrupt our current actions and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is
thought to play a major role in the regulation of these actions before they occur. The left PFC …

Human action-stopping is thought to rely on a prefronto-basal ganglia-thalamocortical
network, with right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) posited to play a critical role in the early stage …

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a key role in working memory (WM). Yet its
precise contribution (the storage, manipulation and/or utilization of information for the …

Both the pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA) and the right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG)
are important for stopping action outright. These regions are also engaged when preparing …
