Classically, the basal ganglia have been considered to have a role in producing habitual
and goal-directed behaviours. In this article, we review recent evidence that expands this …

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

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 …

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

Convergent studies corroborated the idea that the right prefrontal cortex is the crucial brain
region responsible for inhibiting our actions. However, which sub-regions of the right …

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 …

Although Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily considered a disorder of initiation of actions,
patients also have deficits in inhibitory control, both in the motor and cognitive domains …

In recent years, there has been a heightened interest in the effect of non-invasive brain
stimulation on executive functioning. However, there is no comprehensive overview of its …

The interactive race model of saccadic countermanding assumes that response inhibition
results from an interaction between a go unit, identified with gaze-shifting neurons, and a …
