In our TICS Review in 2004, we proposed that a sector of the right inferior frontal cortex
(rIFC) in humans is critical for inhibiting response tendencies. Here we survey new …

Unexpected events are part of everyday experience. They come in several varieties—action
errors, unexpected action outcomes, and unexpected perceptual events—and they lead to …

Individual differences in cognitive paradigms are increasingly employed to relate cognition
to brain structure, chemistry, and function. However, such efforts are often unfruitful, even …

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by the emergence of beta frequency oscillatory
synchronisation across the cortico-basal-ganglia circuit. The relationship between the …

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 …

The subthalamic nucleus (STN) of the basal ganglia appears to have a potent role in action
and cognition. Anatomical and imaging studies show that different frontal cortical areas …

Adolescence is a developmental period associated with an increase in impulsivity.
Impulsivity is a multidimensional construct, and in this study we focus on one of the …

Communication between the prefrontal cortex and subcortical nuclei underpins the control
and inhibition of behavior. However, the interactions in such pathways remain controversial …

Senescence affects the ability to utilize information about the likelihood of rewards for
optimal decision-making. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans, we …

Speech impediments are a prominent yet understudied symptom of Parkinson's disease
(PD). While the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is an established clinical target for treating motor …
