Examining the Interaction Between Startle and Response Inhibition
… potentially interrupting effects of a startle response in a choice reaction time task. Participants completed a task similar to a Go/No- Go in which they were to press a button with their dominant thumb as quickly as possible whenever they saw a green circle (Go) and withhold a response …

Emotional Interference of Response Inhibition in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
<p>Researchers have hypothesized that failures of inhibition are partially responsible for habitual and perseverative symptoms that are unique to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It is also well known that sequelae of emotional processes are also implicated in the etiology and maintenance of …

Effects of PCBs and PBDEs on response inhibition and dopaminergic signaling
… drug trials there would be shifts in the dose-response curves so that performance on both tasks would be improved by AMPH and impaired by FLU to a greater extent than in controls. Tissue punches from 4 brain regions important for DRL and DD performance were collected at PND 90 from littermates …

Circadian disruption causes deficits in attention and response inhibition in adult Long-Evans rats
… effects of 2 models of circadian disruption on response inhibition, which has previously been unaddressed, and attention using a 5-choice serial reaction time task (5-CSRTT). Adult Long-Evans rats of both sexes were maintained on a 12h:12h light:dark cycle and tested under 3 conditions: 4 h into …

Investigating the potential of enhanced neuroprotection through unfolded protein response inhibition and autophagy induction in neurodegeneration
… drug therapies. The unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy are two such pathways, whose dysregulation is detectable as pathological hallmarks in various neurodegenerative diseases. The modulation of both pathways individually is neuroprotective in multiple mouse models of …

The Sleep, Inhibition, and Performance (SIP) study: An ERP investigation of sleep, stress, and response inhibition in early childhood
… canalization processes. Objective: The Sleep, Inhibition, and Performance (SIP) study investigates how sleep characteristics, socioeconomic status (SES), and stress predict neural markers of inhibitory control in children aged 5-8 using event-related potentials (ERPs). Methods: Twenty children …

Performance of Adults With and Without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on Measures of Response Inhibition and Frontal Lobe Functioning
… ADHD showed worse performance on a measure of response inhibition compared to those without ADHD. The patterns of correlations among the cognitive measures differed between the two groups. The conclusions from the findings are discussed in relation to Barkley's (1997) self-regulation model of …

A study of event-related electrocortical oscillatory dynamics associated with cued motor-response inhibition during performance of the Go/NoGo task within a sample of prenatally alcohol-exposed children and age-matched controls
… occur due to prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Response inhibition refers to the ability to inhibit/suppress a prepotent behavioural tendency set in motion during an experimental task. Our research explored neocortical processing in heavy-exposed children from Cape Town, South Africa, performing …

The cognitive bases of mental state reasoning in adults
… found to tap two separate inhibitory components, response inhibition and response selection. This went against the literature suggesting one inhibitory factor or two components of response inhibition. The two ToM tasks used were both level-1 perspective taking tasks with similar demands, so were …

Comparison of neural activation in the cerebellum in autistic adolescents with health control adolescents
… to determine how the cerebellum responds during response inhibition. We compared neural activity in the cerebellar regions in autistic adolescents and control adolescents. Bonnet et al. (2009) describe two paradigms (Go task and Go/No-Go task) to determine response inhibition. We used similar …

Resting-state Functional Connectivity Correlates of Inhibitory Control over Emotional Stimuli
… executive control suppresses an automated motor response. Currently, there is no existing research discussing the neural mechanisms of an emotional anti-saccade task, therefore with the use of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and an emotional anti-saccade task, this …

A Multimodal Investigation of Age Differences in Inhibitory Control
… was associated with age-related reductions in response inhibition, as assessed by the go/no-go task. Based on the notion that brain function is constrained by the underlying anatomy, the second chapter investigates whether FA influences task-related activation (i.e., BOLD activity) of the …

The Association of Cognitive Function with Autonomic-Cardiovascular Reactivity to and Recovery From Stress
… abilities in four different cognitive domains: response inhibition, mental flexibility, verbal memory, and nonverbal memory. The participants were also introduced to three psychologically stressful tasks while blood pressure, heart rate, and spectral components of heart rate variability …

Assessing the effects of adolescent PCB exposure on executive functions in humans and animals
… by the PFC, including cognitive flexibility and response inhibition, may be especially sensitive to disruption during adolescence. The goal of this research was to investigate the effects of adolescent PCB exposure on cognitive flexibility and response inhibition using parallel human and animal …

The Effects of Inducing Disbelief in Free Will on Subsequent Cognitive Performance
… on cognitive tasks involving self-regulation, response inhibition, mind-wandering, and working memory. Self-efficacy was hypothesized to mediate this relationship. Disbelief in free will was induced among participants by having them read passages from a book supporting the deterministic theory. …

Serotonergic modulation of cognition
… habitual responding is driven by stimulus-response associations. Response inhibition is essential for goal-directed behaviour and deficits are shown in impulsivity. We administered an acute clinically relevant dosage of the commonly used serotonin reuptake inhibitor escitalopram to …

PREFRONTAL ACTIVITY IN COGNITIVE FUNCTION: MECHANISMS AND MATURATION
… abilities, including working memory and response inhibition, mature relatively late in life. These functions are thought to be controlled by the prefrontal cortex, which itself undergoes a number of anatomical and functional changes that last beyond adolescence, into early adulthood. The …

Exekutive Funktionen bei Korsakow – Syndrom und Alkoholabhängigkeit

Eye Movement Measures of Cognitive Control In Children With to urette Syndrome
… deficits in the cognitive control functions of response inhibition, response generation, and working memory have long been ascribed to Tourette Syndrome. Yet, without considering the effect of medication, age, and comorbidity, this is a premature attribution. This study used an infrared eye …
