Cognitive control processes involving prefrontal cortex allow humans to overrule and inhibit
habitual responses to optimize performance in new and challenging situations, and …

Successful behavior requires a finely-tuned interplay of initiating and inhibiting motor
programs to react effectively to constantly changing environmental demands. One …

Response inhibition is a component of executive functions, which can be divided into distinct
subprocesses by means of event-related potentials (ERPs). These subprocesses are (pre) …

Selective visual attention is thought to be comprised of distinct neuronal networks that serve
different attentional functions. The Attention Network Test (ANT) has been introduced to …

Anxiety is often associated with impaired cognitive control and avoidance behaviour. The
aim of this study was to investigate the effect of anxiety-related personality traits, such as …

One of the most important tasks of childhood is learning to self-regulate in the presence of
negative emotions. Until recently, almost no research has examined the neurophysiological …

Executive function and working memory deficits are not only present in ADHD, but also in
reading disorder (RD). Here, high-density ERPs were recorded during the Stop Signal Task …

We describe intracranial local field potentials (LFPs) recorded in the supplementary eye field
(SEF) of macaque monkeys performing a saccade countermanding task. The most …

Response inhibition is a basic executive function which is dysfunctional in various basal
ganglia diseases. The brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor (BDNF) plays an important …

BACKGROUND: In a previous study, we found a reduced amplitude modulation of the visual
P3 component of the event-related potential (ERP) in schizophrenic patients compared with …
