Maturation of Brain Function Associated With Response Inhibition

TAMM, LEANNE, MENON, VINOD, REISS, ALLAN L.·2002·Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Abstract

Objective To investigate the developmental trajectory of response inhibition and, more specifically, whether there is a dissociation of function in the prefrontal cortex over the course of development of executive function and associated response inhibition abilities.Method Nineteen typically developing subjects, ranging in age from 8 to 20, performed a Go/NoGo task while behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were collected.Results All subjects performed the task with few errors of omission and commission. No relationship between accuracy and age emerged, but the ability to inhibit responses significantly improved with age. Analyses of fMRI data revealed a positive correlation between activation and age in the left inferior frontal gyrus/insula/orbitofrontal gyrus, and a negative correlation between activation and age in the left middle/superior frontal gyri.Conclusion These data provide the first evidence of dissociable processes occurring in the prefrontal cortex during development of executive functions associated with response inhibition: (1) Younger subjects activate more extensively than older subjects in discrete regions of the prefrontal cortex, presumably due to increased demands and inefficient recruitment of brain regions subserving executive functions including working memory. (2) Older subjects show increasingly focal activation in specific regions thought to play a more critical role in response inhibition.

  • Cognitive brain development is heteromodal.

    “The heteromodal nature of cognitive brain development is evident from studies of neurocognitive performance (6, 7), functional imaging (functional MRI or positronemission tomography) (8–10), and electroencephalogram coherence studies (1, 2, 10).”
  • fMRI data revealed age-related increases in activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus extending to the orbitofrontal cortex and age-related decreases in activation in both the left superior and middle frontal gyrus extending to the cingulate.

    “fMRI data revealed age-related increases in activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus extending to the orbitofrontal cortex and, consistent with Casey et al.'s results, age-related decreases in activation in both the left superior and middle frontal gyrus extending to the cingulate.”

  • In the second Go/No-Go study, there was no difference in accuracy on the task with age, but reaction times to inhibit responses successfully significantly decreased with age.

    “While there was no difference in accuracy on the task with age, reaction times to inhibit responses successfully significantly decreased with age.”

    From Development of the adolescent brain: implications for executive function and social cognition (2006) · cites this paper as Tamm, Menon, & Reiss, 2002

  • The behavioral trend of improving response inhibition generally coincides with linear increases in focal recruitment of lateral prefrontal cortex across development.

    “and, though the evidence is a bit mixed, this behavioral trend is generally found to coincide with linear increases in the focal recruitment of the IPFC across this developmental period [73–80, though see also 81–84].”
  • On a Go-NoGo task, DLPFC and OFC activation is greater in children than adolescents and greater in adolescents than adults; adults show the lowest dorsolateral but equal orbitofrontal activation and better inhibitory control performance.

    “Studies measuring behavioral inhibition on a Go-NoGo task and fMRI data reveal greater activation of DLPFC and OFC in children than in adolescents, and greater in adolescents than in adults, with the adults showing the lowest dorsolateral, but equal orbitofrontal activation and greater inhibitory control performance (Casey et al., 1997; Tamm et al., 2002).”

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.
