Two decades of cross-species neuroscience research on rapid action-stopping in the
laboratory has provided motivation for an underlying prefrontal–basal ganglia circuit. Here …

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 …

Aging has been assumed to go along with deficient inhibitory processes in cognitive
performance. According to this inhibition deficit hypothesis, older adults are less able to …

Compulsivity is associated with alterations in the structure and the function of parallel and
interacting brain circuits involved in emotional processing (involving both the reward and the …

Altered inhibitory control (response inhibition, reward-based inhibition, cognitive inhibition,
reversal learning) has been implicated in eating disorders (EDs) and obesity. It is unclear …

Over the past 20 years, motor response inhibition and interference control have received
considerable scientific effort and attention, due to their important role in behavior and the …

Impulsive behavior is implicated in the initiation, maintenance, and relapse of drug-seeking
behaviors involved in drug addiction. Research shows that changes in impulsive behavior …

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating disorder. However, existing
neuroimaging findings involving executive function and structural abnormalities in OCD …

In young adults, canceling an initiated action depends on the right inferior frontal cortex
(IFC), presupplementary motor area (preSMA), and the basal ganglia. Older adults show …

As one of the core executive functions, inhibitory control plays an important role in human
life. Inhibitory control refers to the ability to suppress task irrelevant information both …
