Inhibition of irrelevant responses is an important aspect cognitive control a goal-directed behavior. Females and males show different levels susceptibility to neuropsychological disorders such as impulsive behavior addiction, which might be related differences in inhibitory brain functions. We examined the effects 'practice inhibit', model rehabilitation approach, 'music', salient contextual factor influencing cognition, on ability females perform stop-signal task that required inhibition...
Abstract Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has garnered significant interest for its potential to enhance cognitive functions and as a therapeutic intervention in various disorders. However, the clinical application of tDCS been hampered by variability outcomes. Furthermore, widespread use raised concerns regarding safety efficacy, particularly light our limited understanding underlying neural mechanisms at cellular level. We still do not know ‘where’, ‘when’ ‘how’ modulates...
Influential hypotheses propose that alterations in emotional state influence decision processes and executive control of behavior. Both music transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) prefrontal cortex affect state, however interactive effects tDCS on functions remain unknown. Learning to inhibit inappropriate responses is an important aspect which guided by assessing the outcomes such as errors. We found high-tempo music, but not low-tempo or low-level noise, significantly influenced...
Abstract Imaging and neural activity recording studies have shown activation in the primate prefrontal cortex when shifting attention between visual dimensions is necessary to achieve goals. A fundamental unanswered question whether representations of these emerge from top-down attentional processes mediated by regions or bottom-up within cortical regions. We hypothesized a causative link dimension-based behavior. In large cohorts humans macaque monkeys, performing same task, we found that...
Commission of errors and conflict between choices might induce behavioral modulations through adjustments in the executive control behavior altered patterns these are detected neuropsychiatric disorders. We examined effects transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) applied over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on error- conflict-induced modulations. Two separate cohorts participants performed two clinically relevant tests control, respectively. In Wisconsin Card Sorting Test...
Abstract Context-dependent execution or inhibition of a response is an important aspect executive control, which impaired in neuropsychological and addiction disorders. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been considered remedial approach to address deficits control; however, considerable variability observed tDCS effects. These variabilities might be related contextual differences such as background visual-auditory stimuli subjects'...
Abstract Humans demonstrate significant behavioural advantages with particular perceptual dimensions (such as colour or shape) and when the relevant dimension is repeated in consecutive trials. These dimension‐related modulations are significantly altered neuropsychological addiction disorders; however, their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we studied whether these exist other trichromatic primate species exposure to opioids influences them. In a target detection task where...
Abstract Humans demonstrate behavioural advantages (biases) towards particular dimensions (colour or shape of visual objects), but such biases are significantly altered in neuropsychological disorders. Recent studies have shown that lesions the prefrontal cortex do not abolish dimensional biases, and therefore suggest might depend on top-down prefrontal-mediated attention instead emerge as bottom-up processing advantages. We hypothesised if merely from an enhancement object features,...
In our daily life, we frequently need to make decisions between competing behavioral options while are exposed various contextual factors containing emotional/social information. We examined how changes in emotional/arousal state influence resolving conflict behavioural rules. Visual stimuli with emotional content (positive, negative and neutral) music, which could potentially alter states, were included the task context participants performed Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). The WCST...
Auditory stimuli, encompassing a continually expanding collection of musical genres and sonic hues, present safe easily administrable therapeutic option for alleviating cognitive deficits associated with neuropsychological disorders, but their effects on executive control are yet to be completely understood. To better understand how the processing certain acoustic properties can influence conflict processing, we had large cohort undergraduate students complete Stroop colour word test in...
