In our TICS Review in 2004, we proposed that a sector of the right inferior frontal cortex
(rIFC) in humans is critical for inhibiting response tendencies. Here we survey new …

In many circumstances alternative courses of action and thoughts have to be inhibited to
allow the emergence of goal-directed behavior. However, this has not been the accepted …

Inhibitory control describes the suppression of goal-irrelevant stimuli and behavioral

Salient cues can prompt the rapid interruption of planned actions. It has been proposed that
fast, reactive behavioral inhibition involves specific basal ganglia pathways, and we tested …

The popular go/no-go paradigm is supposed to ensure a reliable probing of response
inhibition mechanisms. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have …
