Neural systems of reinforcement for drug addiction: from actions to habits to compulsion

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the change from voluntary drug use to more habitual and compulsive drug use represents a transition at the neural level from prefrontal cortical to striatal control over drug seeking and drug taking behavior as well as a progression from ventral to more dorsal domains of the striatum, involving its dopaminergic innervation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition and the right inferior frontal cortex.

TL;DR: Advances in human lesion-mapping support the functional localization of such inhibition to right IFC alone, and future research should investigate the generality of this proposed inhibitory function to other task domains, and its interaction within a wider network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stop-signal inhibition disrupted by damage to right inferior frontal gyrus in humans.

TL;DR: This work uses a new observer-independent method to relate the degree of damage within a specific prefrontal region to performance on a stop-signal task that is sensitive to the neurodevelopmental aspects of stopping behavior and to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well as its amelioration by methylphenidate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition and the right inferior frontal cortex: one decade on.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the rIFC (along with one or more fronto-basal-ganglia networks) is best characterized as a brake, and this brake can be turned on in different modes and in different contexts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation in prefrontal cortex of affective and attentional shifts

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that disinhibition, or a loss of inhibitory control, can be selective for particular cognitive functions and that different regions of the prefrontal cortex provide inhibitory Control in different aspects of cognitive processing.
