For as long as half a century the Simon task–in which participants respond to a nonspatial
stimulus feature while ignoring its position–has represented a very popular tool to study a …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that can transiently
interfere with local cortical functioning, thus enabling inferences of causal left AG …

Response inhibition is disturbed in several disorders sharing impulse control deficits as a
core symptom. Since response inhibition is a cognitively and neurally multifaceted function …

Executive-attention theory proposes a close relationship between working memory capacity
(WMC) and cognitive control abilities. However, conflicting results are documented in the …

Cognitive control requires the suppression of distracting information in order to focus on task-
relevant information. We applied EEG source reconstruction via time-frequency linear …

Previous functional neuroimaging studies in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with impulse
control disorders (ICDs) demonstrated dysfunction of the reward network, although the …

The inhibition of prepotent responses is a requirement for goal‐directed behavior and
several factors determine corresponding successful response inhibition processes. One …

Both neuropsychological and functional neuroimaging studies have identified that the
posterior parietal lobe (PPL) is critical for the attention function. However, the unique role of …

Objective: To determine whether behavioral dissociations and interactions occur between
the attentional functions—alerting, orienting, and conflict resolution—depending upon stroke …

Objective: To assess whether a functional dysregulation of the habenula and amygdala, as
modulators of the reward brain circuit, contributes to Parkinson disease (PD) punding …
