The effect of task complexity on the neural network for response inhibition: An ALE meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Response inhibition is classically investigated using the go/no-go (GNGT) and stop-signal task (SST), which conceptually measure different subprocesses of inhibition. Further, different task versions with varying levels of additional executive control demands exist, making it difficult to identify the core neural correlates of response inhibition independent of variations in task complexity. Using neuroimaging meta-analyses, we show that a divergent pattern of regions is consistently involved in the GNGT versus SST, arguing for different mechanisms involved when performing the two tasks. Further, for the GNGT a strong effect of task complexity was found, with regions of the multiple demand network (MDN) consistently involved particularly in the complex GNGT. In contrast, both standard and
