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 …

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 …

Beta oscillations (∼ 13 to 30 Hz) have been observed during many perceptual, cognitive,
and motor processes in a plethora of brain recording studies. Although the function of beta …

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

Inhibitory control enables humans to stop prepotent motor activity, and is commonly studied
using go/no‐go or stop‐signal tasks. In stop‐signal tasks, prepotent motor activity is elicited …

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 …

The ability to detect and correct action errors is paramount to safe and efficient goal‐directed
behaviors. Existing work on the neural underpinnings of error processing and post‐error …

Flexibly selecting appropriate actions in response to complex, ever-changing environments
requires both cortical and subcortical regions, which are typically described as participating …

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 …

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 …
