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 …

Beta oscillations have been predominantly observed in sensorimotor cortices and basal
ganglia structures and they are thought to be involved in somatosensory processing and …

Abstract Information processing in the brain is governed by oscillatory activity. Activity
oscillations in specific frequency bands (theta, alpha, beta and gamma) have been …

Inhibitory control is a fundamental mechanism underlying flexible behavior and features in
theories across many areas of cognitive and psychological science. However, whereas …

The ability to stop already-initiated actions is a key cognitive control ability. Recent work on
human action-stopping has been dominated by two controversial debates. First, the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non‐invasive technique that is increasingly
used to study the human brain. One of the principal outcome measures is the motor‐evoked …

Inhibitory control is one of the most important control functions in the human brain. Much of
our understanding of its neural basis comes from seminal work showing that lesions to the …

Motor inhibitory control implemented as response inhibition is an essential cognitive function
required to dynamically adapt to rapidly changing environments. Despite over a decade of …

Over the last two decades, inhibitory control has featured prominently in accounts of how
humans and other organisms regulate their behaviour and thought. Previous work on how …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is widely used to explore the role of various
cortical regions for reactive response inhibition. In recent years, tDCS studies reported …
