Neural correlates of response inhibition
Response inhibition activates a network consisting of prefrontal and premotor regions along with the basal ganglia (Yet, it is undisputable that assigning cognitive control and response inhibition merely to cortical areas would pose an oversimplification. On a subcortical level, the basal ganglia are critically involved in the process of response inhibition. In particular, and in accordance with classical models of cortico-basal ganglia circuitry, activity in the indirect pathway via STN inhibits prepotent responses to external cues until the selected response is triggered via the direct pathway (
