The subthalamic nucleus (STN) supports action selection by inhibiting all motor programs
except the desired one. Recent evidence suggests that STN can also cancel an already …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is hypothesized to play a central role in the rapid stopping of
movement in reaction to a stop signal. Single-unit recording evidence for such a role is …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN), which receives excitatory inputs from the cortex and has
direct connections with the inhibitory pathways of the basal ganglia, is well positioned to …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been shown to be implicated in the control of voluntary
action, especially during tasks involving conflicting choice alternatives or rapid response …

Recent studies have implicated the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in decisions that involve
inhibiting movements. Many of the decisions that we make in our daily lives, however, do not …

How do we decide what we do? This is the essence of action control, the process of
selecting the most appropriate response among multiple possible choices. Suboptimal …

Abstract Models of action selection postulate the critical involvement of the subthalamic
nucleus (STN), especially in reactive inhibition processes when inappropriate responses to …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia is an important element of motor
control. This is demonstrated by involuntary movements induced by STN lesions and the …

Because the complex functions of the basal ganglia have been increasingly studied over the
past several decades, the understanding of the role of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia appears to have a potent role in action
and cognition. Anatomical and imaging studies show that different frontal cortical areas …
