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 …

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 …

We revisit our hypothesis that drug addiction can be viewed as the endpoint of a series of
transitions from initial voluntarily drug use to habitual, and ultimately compulsive drug use …

A better understanding of the neural systems underlying impulse control is important for
psychiatry. Although most impulses are motivational or emotional rather than motoric per se …

There is growing interest regarding the role of the right inferior frontal gyrus (RIFG) during a
particular form of executive control referred to as response inhibition. However, tasks used to …

Impulsivity critically relates to many psychiatric disorders. Given the multifaceted construct
that impulsivity represents, defining core aspects of impulsivity is vital for the assessment …

Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

Efficient behavior involves the coordinated activity of large-scale brain networks, but the way
in which these networks interact is uncertain. One theory is that the salience network (SN) …

Neuroimaging studies have utilized two primary tasks to assess motor response inhibition, a
major form of inhibitory control: the Go/NoGo (GNG) task and the Stop-Signal Task (SST). It …

The right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC) and the right anterior insula (rAI) have been implicated
consistently in inhibitory control, but their differential roles are poorly understood. Here we …
