Response inhibition is considered a core dimension in alcoholism and its co-existing disorders. The major objective of this study is to compare the magnitude and spatial distribution of ERP components during response activation and inhibition in alcoholics (N = 30) and normal controls (N = 30) using a visual Go/No-Go task. The results indicate that alcoholics manifest a decreased P3(00) amplitude during Go as well as No-Go conditions. The difference between Go and No-Go processing was more evident in controls than in alcoholics. The topography of current source density in alcoholics during the P3 response was found to be very different from that of normals, suggesting that alcoholics perhaps activated inappropriate brain circuitry during cognitive processing. The significantly reduced No-Go P3 along with the relatively less anteriorized CSD topography during No-Go condition suggests poor inhibitory control in alcoholics. It is proposed that the No-Go P3, the electrophysiological signature of response inhibition, can be considered as an endophenotypic marker in alcoholism.

Article Synopsis
- Response inhibition is crucial for cognitive function, with key brain regions involved being the presupplementary motor area (preSMA) and the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC), though their specific roles are debated.
- Using fMRI, this study examined how these regions contribute to stopping responses during tasks designed to measure inhibitory control, specifically the Go/No-Go task and the Stop Signal Task.
- Findings indicated that the rIFC is linked to pausing responses, while the preSMA is more directly involved in stopping responses effectively, supporting the Pause-then-Cancel Model.

This study investigated how acute bouts of aerobic exercise versus yoga affect inhibitory control differently in smokers with nicotine dependence depending on the presence of depressive symptoms. Thirty adult smokers were equally divided into a depressed smoker group and a non-depressed smoker group based on their Beck Depression Inventory scores. Each participant underwent baseline measurements, a 30-minute aerobic exercise session, and a 30-minute yoga session on different days.

The ability to detect and monitor errors enables us to maintain optimal performance across tasks. One neurophysiological index of error monitoring is the error-related negativity (ERN), a fronto-central negative deflection peaking between 0 and 150 ms following an erroneous response. While the developmental literature has illustrated age-related differences in the ERN and its association with anxiety, the literature has mainly focused on the between-person differences of the ERN.

We aimed to study the effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) and motor-cognitive load on the interplay between activation level and spatial complexity. To that end, 68 PD patients and 30 controls underwent electroencephalography (EEG) recording while executing visual single- and dual- Go/No-go tasks. The EEG underwent source localization, followed by parcellation of the neural activity into 116 regions of interest.

Transient disruption or permanent damage to the left Frontal Aslant Tract (FAT) is associated with deficits in speech production. The present study examined the application of theta (4 Hz) high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD-tACS) over the left SMA and IFG -as a part of FAT- as a potential multisite protocol to modulate neural and behavioral correlates of speech motor control. Twenty-one young adults participated in three counterbalanced sessions in which they received in-phase, anti-phase, and sham theta HD-tACS.
