Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation on reactive response inhibition Neurosci Biobehav Rev (IF 8.2) Pub Date : 2024-01-08 Qu He, Christoph F. Geißler, Matteo Ferrante, Gesa Hartwigsen, Maximilian A. Friehs
Reactive response inhibition cancels impending actions to enable adaptive behavior in ever-changing environments and has wide neuropsychiatric implications. A canonical paradigm to measure the covert inhibition latency is the stop-signal task (SST). To probe the cortico-subcortical network underlying motor inhibition, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been applied over central nodes to modulate
