Beta: bursts of cognition
Beta oscillations are linked to the control of goal-directed processing of sensory information
and the timing of motor output. Recent evidence demonstrates they are not sustained but …

The human subthalamic nucleus transiently inhibits active attentional processes
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia is key to the inhibitory control of
movement. Consequently, it is a primary target for the neurosurgical treatment of movement …

Attentional spatial cueing of the stop-signal affects the ability to suppress behavioural responses
The ability to adapt to the environment is linked to the possibility of inhibiting inappropriate
behaviours, and this ability can be enhanced by attention. Despite this premise, the scientific …

Memory control deficits in the sleep-deprived human brain
MO Harrington, T Karapanagiotidis, L Phillips… - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Sleep disturbances are associated with intrusive memories, but the neurocognitive
mechanisms underpinning this relationship are poorly understood. Here, we show that an …

Stimulating the medial prefrontal cortex disrupts inhibitory control over memory by modulating frontal and parietal brain regions
The act of recalling memories can paradoxically lead to the forgetting of other associated
memories, a phenomenon known as retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF). This effect is thought …

Aversive memories can be weakened during human sleep via the reactivation of positive interfering memories
Recollecting painful or traumatic experiences can be deeply troubling. Sleep may offer an
opportunity to reduce such suffering. We developed a procedure to weaken older aversive …
