A simultaneous modulation of reactive and proactive inhibition processes by anodal tDCS on the right inferior frontal cortex
Open accessAbstract
Proactive and reactive inhibitory processes are a fundamental part of executive functions, allowing a person to stop inappropriate responses when necessary and to adjust performance in in a long term in accordance to the goals of a task. In the current study, we manipulate, in a single task, both reactive and proactive inhibition mechanisms, and we investigate the within-subjects effect of increasing, by means of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), the involvement of the right inferior frontal cortex (rIFC). Our results show a simultaneous enhancement of these two cognitive mechanisms when modulating the neural activity of rIFC. Thus, the application of anodal tDCS increased reaction times on Go trials, indicating a possible increase in proactive inhibition. Concurrently, the stop-signal reaction time, as a covert index of the inhibitory process, was reduced, demonstrating an improvement in reactive inhibition. In summary, the current pattern of results validates the engagement of the rIFC in these two forms of inhibitory processes, proactive and reactive inhibition and it provides evidence that both processes can operate concurrently in the brain.

In healthy adults, tDCS over rIFC combined with inhibition training significantly improved inhibition performance in a Stop task relative to sham tDCS and to inhibition training alone.
“In healthy adults, for example, tDCS over rIFC combined with inhibition training significantly improved inhibition performance in a Stop task relative to sham tDCS (Cunillera et al., 2014) and to inhibition training alone (Ditye et al., 2012).”
From Cognitive Neuroscience of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Its Clinical Translation (2018) · cites this paper as Cunillera et al., 2014
The Results report significantly better stopping in the anodal than the sham tDCS session, and the Discussion reports a reduced stop-signal reaction time under stimulation. The Procedure describes practice to familiarize participants with the task, not an inhibition-training intervention. The comparison with training alone is cited to Ditye et al., not to this paper.

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.
