Intracranial EEG reveals a time- and frequency-specific role for the right inferior frontal gyrus and primary motor cortex in stopping initiated responses.

5 Oct 2009 Inappropriate response tendencies may be stopped via a specific fronto/basal ganglia/primary motor cortical network. We sought to characterize the functional role of two regions in this putative stopping network, the right inferior frontal gyrus ... Read more...

The maturation of task set-related activation supports late developmental improvements in inhibitory control.

5 Oct 2009 The ability to voluntarily inhibit a single response is evident early in development, even as the ability to maintain an inhibitory "task set" continues to improve. To date, functional neuroimaging studies have detailed developmental changes in ... Read more...

Verbal representation in task order control: an examination with transition and task cues in random task switching.

29 Sep 2009 Recent task-switching studies in which a predictable task sequence has been used have indicated that verbal representation contributes to the control of task order information. The present study focused on the role of verbal representation in ... Read more...
