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 …

An influential hypothesis from the last decade proposed that regions within the right inferior
frontal cortex of the human brain were dedicated to supporting response inhibition. There is …

Background During the aging process, physical capabilities (eg, muscular strength) and
cognitive functions (eg, memory) gradually decrease. Regarding cognitive functions …

Impulsivity critically relates to many psychiatric disorders. Given the multifaceted construct
that impulsivity represents, defining core aspects of impulsivity is vital for the assessment …

Efficient behavior involves the coordinated activity of large-scale brain networks, but the way
in which these networks interact is uncertain. One theory is that the salience network (SN) …

Neuroimaging studies have utilized two primary tasks to assess motor response inhibition, a
major form of inhibitory control: the Go/NoGo (GNG) task and the Stop-Signal Task (SST). It …

In this review, we examine the structural connectivity of a recently-identified fiber pathway,
the frontal aslant tract (FAT), and explore its function. We first review structural connectivity …

The supervisory attentional system has been proposed to mediate non-routine, goal-
oriented behaviour by guiding the selection and maintenance of the goal-relevant task …

The right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the right anterior insula (rAI) have been implicated
consistently in inhibitory control, but their differential roles are poorly understood. Here we …

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 …
