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 …

Beta oscillations have been predominantly observed in sensorimotor cortices and basal
ganglia structures and they are thought to be involved in somatosensory processing and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

In predictive coding, experience generates predictions that attenuate the feeding forward of
predicted stimuli while passing forward unpredicted “errors.” Different models have …

The ability to dynamically change motor outputs, such as stop** an initiated response, is
an important aspect of human behavior. A hyperdirect pathway between the inferior frontal …

Working memory (WM) activity is not as stationary or sustained as previously thought. There
are brief bursts of gamma (~ 50–120 Hz) and beta (~ 20–35 Hz) oscillations, the former …

Successful goal-directed behavior requires not only correct action selection, planning, and
execution but also the ability to flexibly adapt behavior when performance problems occur or …

In this review, we consider the potential functional role of beta-band oscillations, which at
present is not yet well understood. We discuss evidence from recent studies on top-down …
