“…For example, the emotional Go/NoGo task both assesses motor response inhibition and allows the investigation of perturbations in emotional response monitoring. In particular, fMRI data not only support the role of the IFG in response inhibition and cognitive interference involving affective stimuli Elliott et al, 2000;Goldstein et al, 2007;Hare et al, 2005;Shafritz et al, 2006), but also describe activation within rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC) and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) that is modulated by emotional valence (e.g., greater BOLD response to negative versus neutral target stimuli). These rACC/vmPFC activations overlap with regions implicated in a range of paradigms incorporating affective stimuli or emotional provocation that do not necessarily elicit response competition (Bush et al, 2000;Canli et al, 2004;Damasio et al, 2000;Etkin et al, 2006;Keightley et al, 2003;Maddock et al, 2003;Phan et al, 2003;Whalen et al, 1998).…”
