Inhibitory Control in Rats Performing a Stop-Signal Reaction-Time Task: Effects of Lesions of the Medial Striatum and d-Amphetamine.

Eagle, D. M., Robbins, T. W.·2003·Behavioral Neuroscience

Abstract

The stop-signal task measures the ability to inhibit a response that has already been initiated, that is, the ability to stop. Imaging studies have implicated frontostriatal circuitry in the mediation of this form of response control. The authors report inhibition functions of normal rats and those with medial striatal damage performing the stop-signal task. Excitotoxic lesions of the medial striatum produced significant deficits on task performance, including increased omissions on the go task and flattened inhibition function, possibly as a result of increased reaction-time mean and variability. Medial striatal lesions also significantly slowed stop-signal reaction time. Subsequent treatment with d-amphetamine removed (0.3 mg/kg) or exacerbated (1.0 mg/kg) this deficit.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • OFC and infralimbic mPFC mediate response inhibition, as lesions produce premature responding in the 5-CSRTT and SSRT.

    “OFC and infralimbic (IL) mPFC have been shown to mediate response inhibition, as lesions of these areas produce premature responding in the 5-CSRTT and SSRT (Chudasama et al 2003, Eagle et al 2008a, Eagle & Robbins 2003).”

  • Lesion studies suggest that lesions of the medial striatum in rodents lead to overall longer stop signal reaction time.

    “Lesion studies also suggest that lesions of the medial striatum in rodents lead to overall longer stop signal reaction time (Eagle and Robbins 2003).”
  • Basal ganglia lesions impaired stop performance in humans and rodents, while deep-brain stimulation of STN in Parkinson patients improved inhibitory control.

    “Lesions to the basal ganglia impaired stop performance for both humans and rodents [26–28], whereas deep-brain stimulation of STN in Parkinson patients enhanced inhibitory control [29].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
