Abstract
Response inhibition is essential for navigating everyday life. Its derailment is considered integral to numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, and more generally, to a wide range of behavioral and health problems. Response-inhibition efficiency furthermore correlates with treatment outcome in some of these conditions. The stop-signal task is an essential tool to determine how quickly response inhibition is implemented. Despite its apparent simplicity, there are many features (ranging from task design to data analysis) that vary across studies in ways that can easily compromise the validity of the obtained results. Our goal is to facilitate a more accurate use of the stop-signal task. To this end, we provide 12 easy-to-implement consensus recommendations and point out the problems that can arise when they are not followed. Furthermore, we provide user-friendly open-source resources intended to inform statistical-power considerations, facilitate the correct implementation of the task, and assist in proper data analysis.

Not all animals need a microbiome.

TL;DR: It is proposed that animals span a continuum of reliance on microbial symbionts, including famously symbiont-dependent species such as aphids, humans, corals and cows, and species that may tolerate some microbial colonization but are only minimally or facultatively dependent.

Beta Oscillations in Working Memory, Executive Control of Movement and Thought, and Sensorimotor Function

TL;DR: The function of beta oscillations is unlikely to be explained by any single monolithic description, and several convergent findings are discussed, including emerging research on different frequencies of beta and the relationship between beta and single-neuron spiking.

Measuring Adaptive Control in Conflict Tasks

TL;DR: A consensus view among opposing theorists is presented that specifies how researchers can measure four hallmark indices of adaptive control (the congruency sequence effect, and list-wide, context-specific, and item-specific proportion congruencies effects) while minimizing easy-to-overlook confounds.

Prefrontal-Subthalamic Hyperdirect Pathway Modulates Movement Inhibition in Humans

TL;DR: It is shown that a prefrontal-subthalamic hyperdirect pathway is present in humans and mediates rapid stopping, and these findings may inform therapies to treat disorders featuring perturbed movement inhibition.

From core referencing to data re-use: two French national initiatives to reinforce paleodata stewardship (National Cyber Core Repository and LTER France Retro-Observatory)

TL;DR: ROZA was developed under the umbrella of LTER-France (Long Term Ecological Research) in order to facilitate the re-use of data and samples and will favor to use of paleodata by non-paleodata scientists, in particular ecologists.

On the Ability to Inhibit Thought and Action: A Theory of an Act of Control

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a theory of the inhibition of thought and action to account for people's performance in situations with explicit stop signals, and apply it to several sets of data.
