Abstract “Cognitive control” describes endogenous guidance of behavior in situations where
routine stimulus-response associations are suboptimal for achieving a desired goal. The …

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been implicated in a variety of cognitive
control functions, among them the monitoring of conflict, error, and volatility, error …

A fundamental problem faced by animals is learning to select actions based on noisy
sensory information and incomplete knowledge of the world. It has been suggested that the …

The cognitive concept of response inhibition can be measured with the stop-signal
paradigm. In this paradigm, participants perform a 2-choice response time (RT) task where …

Control adjustments are necessary to balance competing cognitive demands. One task that
is well-suited to explore control adjustments is the stop-signal paradigm, in which subjects …

BACKGROUND Delineating the processes that contribute to the progression and
maintenance of substance dependence is critical to understanding and preventing …

Performance in the stop-signal paradigm involves a balance between going and stop**,
and one way that this balance is struck is through shifting priority away from the go task …

A key problem in neuroscience is understanding how the brain makes decisions under
uncertainty. Important insights have been gained using tasks such as the random dots …

Inhibitory control is an integral part of executive functions. In this study, we report event-
related spectral perturbation (ERSP) results from 15 healthy adults performing an emotional …

Identification of neurocognitive predictors of substance dependence is an important step in
develo** approaches to prevent addiction. Given evidence of inhibitory control deficits in …
