“…Enhanced activity in the right dorso-and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex has also been shown to correlate with reduced activity in the hippocampus, as well as with forgetting, which may be understood as an aftereffect of memory inhibition (for a review, see Anderson and Hanslmayr, 2014). Supporting this interpretation, recent results from neuromodulation studies suggest that cathodal transcranial stimulation over the right LPFC disrupts inhibitory control (Silas and Brandt, 2016;Valle et al, 2020).…”

Deception scholars have argued that increasing the liar's cognitive system artificially can produce deception cues. However, if too much load is imposed, the truth tellers' performance can also be impaired. To address this issue, we designed a veracity task that incorporated a secondary task to increase cognitive load gradually. Also, because deception has been associated with activity in the inferior frontal cortex (IFC), we examined the influence of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the IFC on performance. During stimulation, participants truthfully or deceptively indicated whether each of a number of statements shown on screen was true or not. Higher load decreased recall but not general compliance or response times (RTs). Truthful trials yielded higher compliance rates and faster RTs than deceptive trials except for the highest load level. Anodal right stimulation decreased compliance in truthful trials when participants were not overloaded. Truth telling was more vulnerable to cognitive load and tDCS than lying.

“…The robust activation in right DLPFC and VLPFC has led to research confirming their causal role in inducing active forgetting. For example, electrical stimulation over right DLPFC or VLPFC via transcranial direct current stimulation prior to retrieval practice abolishes RIF, which is reduced relative to sham stimulation (Penolazzi et al 2014, Stramaccia et al 2017, Valle et al 2020. RIF is abolished even though stimulation leaves retrieval practice success and retrieval-based learning of Retrieval suppression: a controlled attempt to cancel an episodic retrieval when a reminder begins to elicit automatic retrieval of unwelcome content…”

Over the past century, psychologists have discussed whether forgetting might arise from active mechanisms that promote memory loss to achieve various functions, such as minimizing errors, facilitating learning, or regulating one's emotional state. The past decade has witnessed a great expansion in knowledge about the brain mechanisms underlying active forgetting in its varying forms. A core discovery concerns the role of the prefrontal cortex in exerting top-down control over mnemonic activity in the hippocampus and other brain structures, often via inhibitory control. New findings reveal that such processes not only induce forgetting of specific memories but also can suppress the operation of mnemonic processes more broadly, triggering windows of anterograde and retrograde amnesia in healthy people. Recent work extends active forgetting to nonhuman animals, presaging the development of a multilevel mechanistic account that spans the cognitive, systems, network, and even cellular levels. This work reveals how organisms adapt their memories to their cognitive and emotional goals and has implications for understanding vulnerability to psychiatric disorders.

“…In addition, it is well established that the DLPFC is involved in a large number of processes in addition to working memory, including response conflict, presence of distracting information, novelty, selective attention, and perceptual difficulty (Nee & Jonides, 2009;Nee et al, 2007;Duncan & Owen, 2000). In particular, prior work in the context of analogical reasoning (Valle, Bajo, & Gómez-Ariza, 2020;Cho et al, 2010;Bunge et al, 2005) suggests that the DLPFC could also be involved in interference resolution during response selection (Nee et al, 2007). Bunge et al (2005) found the right DLPFC to be insensitive to whether participants were evaluating quadruplets of verbal items for analogical validity versus semantic association, or to the degree of association strength tying the items together, and was instead particularly sensitive to the need to avoid accepting invalid responses.…”

“…It is likely that further advances in noninvasive neuroimaging techniques capable of high temporal as well as spatial resolution will play a critical role in providing empirical evidence to guide theoretical developments. Techniques such as repetitive TMS (e.g., Boroojerdi et al, 2001) and tDCS (Valle et al, 2020;Green et al, 2017) can be used to test the causal roles of brain regions hypothesized to contribute to relational processing.…”

Relational integration is required when multiple explicit representations of relations between entities must be jointly considered to make inferences. We provide an overview of the neural substrate of relational integration in humans and the processes that support it, focusing on work on analogical and deductive reasoning. In addition to neural evidence, we consider behavioral and computational work that has informed neural investigations of the representations of individual relations and of relational integration. In very general terms, evidence from neuroimaging, neuropsychological, and neuromodulatory studies points to a small set of regions (generally left lateralized) that appear to constitute key substrates for component processes of relational integration. These include posterior parietal cortex, implicated in the representation of first-order relations (e.g., A: B); rostrolateral pFC, apparently central in integrating first-order relations so as to generate and/or evaluate higher-order relations (e.g., A: B:: C: D); dorsolateral pFC, involved in maintaining relations in working memory; and ventrolateral pFC, implicated in interference control (e.g., inhibiting salient information that competes with relevant relations). Recent work has begun to link computational models of relational representation and reasoning with patterns of neural activity within these brain areas.
