Contingent negative variations associated with command swallowing in humans.

14 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To clarify the role of the cerebral cortex in the swallowing movement, the difference between the waveforms of contingent negative variation (CNV) for the command swallowing and movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) obtained during ... Read more...

The free choice whether or not to respond after stimulus presentation.

30 Aug 2009 The concept of 'willed' actions has attracted attention during the last few years. Free choices have been associated with activations on the medial frontal surface, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the parietal lobe. Self-paced movements and ... Read more...

Intentional inhibition: how the "veto-area" exerts control.

30 Aug 2009 One important aspect of self-control is refraining voluntarily from already planned behavior, by a final intervention before commitment to action. Despite its crucial role in human existence, and clear social implications, this aspect of ... Read more...
