Choosing not to act: Neural bases of the development of intentional inhibition

Abstract: Choosing not to act, or the ability to intentionally inhibit your actions lies at the core of self-control. Even though most research has focused on externally primed inhibition, an important question concerns how intentional inhibition develops. Therefore, in the present study children (aged 10-12) and adults (aged 18-26) performed the marble task, in which they had to choose between acting on and inhibiting a prepotent response, while fMRI data were collected. Intentional inhibition was associated with activ… Show more

“…The BG through their connectivity and anatomical architecture are felt to be major contributors to this balance. The anatomical systems are of course not mutually exclusive and hence information is very likely to be shared across the hierarchically connected structures (Aron and Poldrack, 2006 ; Jahfari et al, 2011 ; Toxopeus et al, 2012 ; Schel et al, 2014 ). In order to strike this balance, a system of direct and reciprocally indirect pathways of connections appears to exist in the major nuclei including the striatum, STN and now even the pallidum as reviewed briefly above.…”

“…In a follow-up study, a different design was used where a strong action tendency was induced that participants then had to veto (Kuhn et al, 2009). A similar pattern of brain activation was observed (but see Schel et al, 2014 for problems to replicate these findings). However, the inferior temporal resolution of fMRI does not allow one to conclude that the veto process really took place after participants became conscious of their intention to act.…”

“…Recruitment of inferior frontal and medial prefrontal cortices increases with age, suggesting that these areas continue to mature through adolescence and young adulthood and support more effective response inhibition control (Rubia, Smith, Taylor, & Brammer, 2007; Rubia et al, 2006; Vara et al, 2014). Frontal cortical networks undergo refinement in adolescence and early adulthood through synaptic pruning and myelination (Fjell et al, 2012; Schel et al, 2014; Sowell et al, 2003). These changes could have a direct effect on the efficiency of related cognitive functions, e.g., response inhibition, by enhancing functional communication between different brain regions (Luna & Sweeney, 2004; Velanova, Wheeler, & Luna, 2008).…”

“…Response inhibition is an essential capacity that allows individuals to actively suppress, interrupt, or delay an action (Aron, 2011). It plays an important role in everyday tasks such as withholding inappropriate responses or delaying their execution while gathering necessary information for completion (Schel, Ridderinkhof, & Crone, 2014). Compared to other higher-order functions, response inhibition is one of the last that develops, and one of the first to deteriorate with age (Hammerer, Li, Muller, & Lindenberger, 2010).…”
