Prefrontal cortex and impulsive decision making

S Kim, D Lee - Biological psychiatry, 2011 - Elsevier
Impulsivity refers to a set of heterogeneous behaviors that are tuned suboptimally along
certain temporal dimensions. Impulsive intertemporal choice refers to the tendency to forego …

The utility of rat models of impulsivity in developing pharmacotherapies for impulse control disorders

CA Winstanley - British journal of pharmacology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
High levels of impulsive behaviours are a clinically significant symptom in a range of
psychiatric disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder …

Effective connectivity reveals important roles for both the hyperdirect (fronto-subthalamic) and the indirect (fronto-striatal-pallidal) fronto-basal ganglia pathways during …

S Jahfari, L Waldorp… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Fronto-basal ganglia pathways play a crucial role in voluntary action control, including the
ability to inhibit motor responses. Response inhibition might be mediated via a fast …

Deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus alters the cortical profile of response inhibition in the beta frequency band: a scalp EEG study in Parkinson's …

N Swann, H Poizner, M Houser, S Gould… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Stopping an initiated response could be implemented by a fronto-basal-ganglia circuit,
including the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) …

A proactive mechanism for selective suppression of response tendencies

W Cai, CL Oldenkamp, AR Aron - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
While most research on stopping action examines how an initiated response is stopped
when a signal occurs (ie, reactively), everyday life also calls for a mechanism to prepare to …

Multimodal imaging of functional networks and event-related potentials in performance monitoring

RJ Huster, T Eichele, S Enriquez-Geppert, A Wollbrink… - Neuroimage, 2011 - Elsevier
The stop-signal task is a prototypical experiment to study cognitive processes that mediate
successful performance in a rapidly changing environment. By means of simultaneous …

Stimulation at dorsal and ventral electrode contacts targeted at the subthalamic nucleus has different effects on motor and emotion functions in Parkinson's disease

I Greenhouse, S Gould, M Houser, G Hicks, J Gross… - Neuropsychologia, 2011 - Elsevier
Motor and emotion processing depend on different fronto-basal ganglia circuits. Distinct sub-
regions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) may modulate these circuits. We evaluated …

KN Thakkar, JD Schall, L Boucher, GD Logan… - Biological psychiatry, 2011 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND:: Cognitive control deficits are pervasive in individuals with schizophrenia
