Stop-signal inhibition disrupted by damage to right inferior frontal gyrus in humans

Bullmore and Barbara Jacquelyn Sahakian and Trevor William Robbins}, journal={Nature Neuroscience}, year={2003}, volume={6}, pages={115-116} }
The precise localization of executive functions such as response inhibition within the prefrontal cortex (PFC), although theoretically crucial, has proven to be controversial and difficult. Functional neuroimaging has contributed importantly to this debate, but as human cortical lesions are seldom discrete, the literature still lacks definitive neuropsychological evidence that a specific region is necessary for task performance. We overcame this limitation by using a new observer-independent…

Causal Prefrontal Contributions to Stop-Signal Task Performance in Humans

- 2021
It is suggested that multiple prefrontal regions make necessary but distinct contributions to stop-signal task performance as a consequence of focal prefrontal damage not strongly localizing within the frontal lobes.

It is indicated that the integrity of left IFG is also critical for successful implementation of inhibitory control over motor responses, and the findings demonstrate the importance of obtaining converging evidence from multiple methodologies in cognitive neuroscience.

Right lateral prefrontal cortex--specificity for inhibition or strategy use?

This scientific commentary refers to ‘Verbal suppression and strategy use: a role for the right lateral prefrontal cortex?’, by Robinson et al. (doi:10.1093/brain/awv003), by investigating the specificity of PFC subregions for verbal initiation, suppression and Strategy use in a large cohort of lesion patients.

Transcranial direct current stimulation was delivered to 115 healthy subjects, using five stimulation setups that differed in terms of target area (rIFG or rDLPFC) and polarity of stimulation (anodal, cathODal, or sham).

Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, it is found that temporary deactivation of the pars opercularis in the right inferior frontal gyrus selectively impairs the ability to stop an initiated action.

The results imply that the right inferior prefrontal area is commonly involved in the inhibition of different targets, i.e. the go response during performance of the go/no-go task and the cognitive set duringperformance of the WCST.

Investigation of error‐related brain activity associated with failure to inhibit response during a Go/NoGo task provides evidence for a distributed error processing system in the human brain that overlaps partially, but not completely, with brain regions involved in response inhibition and competition.

This paper focuses on the working memory processor as a specialization of prefrontal cortex and argues that the different areas within prefrontal cortex represent iterations of this function for different information domains, including spatial cognition, object cognition and additionally, in humans, semantic processing.

The results suggest that this region in the prefrontal cortex is related to the neural mechanisms underlying the response inhibition function, and looked for the prefrontal areas in which the brain activity in no‐go trials is dominant over that in go trials.

The results suggest that cost-function masking is superior to the standard approach to this problem, which is affine-only normalization; it is proposed that it should be used routinely for normalizations of brains with focal lesions.
