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 …

Response inhibition paradigms, as for example stop signal and go/no-go tasks, are often
used to study cognitive control processes. Because of the apparent demand to stop a motor …

Recent years have seen an explosion of research on the N2 component of the event‐related
potential, a negative wave peaking between 200 and 350 ms after stimulus onset. This …

Background: Several current theories emphasize the role of cognitive control in addiction.
The present review evaluates neural deficits in the domains of inhibitory control and error …

The frontocentral P 3 event‐related potential has been proposed as a neural marker of
response inhibition. However, this association is disputed: some argue that P 3 latency is too …

Conflict and inhibition are considered to exert strong influences on the neurophysiological
N200 and P300 brain responses as evoked in go/nogo and stop-signal tasks. In order to …

Background: Developing reliable and specific neural markers of cognitive processes is
essential to improve understanding of healthy and atypical brain function. Despite extensive …

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) …

When an unexpected event occurs in everyday life (eg, a car honking), one experiences a
slowing down of ongoing action (eg, of walking into the street). Motor slowing following …

Inhibitory control, ie, the ability to stop or suppress actions, thoughts, or memories,
represents a prevalent and popular concept in basic and clinical neuroscience as well as …
