Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is often described as a method for inducing reversible
lesions in neurologically normal observers (“virtual lesions”). However, there is evidence …

Background Inhibitory control, or the ability to suppress planned but inappropriate prepotent
actions in the current environment, plays an important role in the control of human …

OPINION ARTICLE published: 09 April 2013 doi: 10.3389/fnhum. 2013.00129 be beneficial.
This is also true for investigation of whether there is an interaction with the type of motor …

The limits of human visual short-term memory (VSTM) have been well documented, and
recent neuroscientific studies suggest that VSTM performance is associated with activity in the …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is now widely used as a ‘virtual’ lesion paradigm to
investigate behavioural functions, but the mechanisms through which it influences neural …

The executive control of voluntary action involves not only choosing from a range of possible
actions but also the inhibition of responses as circumstances demand. Recent studies have …

Inhibitory control mechanisms are important in a range of behaviours to prevent execution of
motor acts which, having been planned, are no longer necessary or appropriate. Examples …

Recent physiological recording studies in monkeys have suggested that the frontal eye fields
(FEFs) are involved in visual scene analysis even when eye movement commands are not …

The inhibitory control of prepotent action is vital for appropriate behaviour. An example of the
importance of such control can be seen in the inhibition of aggressive behavior, deficits in …

Frontal eye field (FEF) neurons discharge in response to behaviorally relevant stimuli that are
potential targets for saccades. Distinct visual and motor processes have been dissociated …
