“Roles for the pre-supplementary motor area and the right inferior frontal gyrus in stopping action: electrophysiological responses and functional and structural connectivity” (2011, background): “…both be important for inhibitory control, or one could be important in monitoring for the stop signal and/or detecting conflict and another for implementing inhibitory control (Duann et al., 2009; Hampshire et al., 2010; Mostofsky and Simmonds, 2008; Sharp et al., 2010; Verbruggen et al., 2010).”
A computational model of inhibitory control in frontal cortex and basal ganglia. (2011, methodology): “e assumption in the model that withholding an inappropriate response is re ected by a population of pre-SMA units as an abstract \action" (for discussion of this idea see (Chambers et al., 2009; Mostofsky and Simmonds, 2008)), then pre-SMA and dACC activity would also emerge in the SST. Alterna”
Are the neural correlates of stopping and not going identical? Quantitative meta-analysis of two response inhibition tasks (2011, background): “Response inhibition has been a popular topic in the neuroimaging literature (reviewed in Mostofsky and Simmonds, 2008; Nakata et al., 2008; Swick et al., 2008), with activations in the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) and dorsomedial PFC receiving the focus of attention.”
Left inferior frontal gyrus is critical for response inhibition (2008, background): “Presumably, the right IFG would acquire its role in inhibitory control by virtue of its connections to the motor system [35].”
Response inhibition in the stop-signal paradigm (2008, background): “Some researchers proposed that activation in rightIFGorpre-SMAleadstoasuppressionofmotoroutput through a projection to STN [14,17, 31 ].”
Insights into the neural basis of response inhibition from cognitive and clinical neuroscience. (2009, unknown): “2a; for recent reviews, see (Aron et al., 2004; Aron, 2007; Dillon and Pizzagalli, 2007; Mostofsky and Simmonds, 2008; Simmonds et al., 2008).”
Cognitive interference elicits developmental sex differences in inhibitory control (2025, unknown): “…regions are critical for an array of higher-order cognitive functions, including the selection and execution of target behaviors, while inhibiting inappropriate responses (Heinrichs-Graham and Wilson, 2015; Huang et al., 2025; Mostofsky and Simmonds, 2008; Nachev et al., 2008; Son et al., 2024).”
