Inhibitory control is a fundamental mechanism underlying flexible behavior and features in theories across many areas of cognitive and psychological science. However, whereas many theories implicitly or explicitly assume that inhibitory control is a domain-general process, the vast majority of neuroscientific work has hitherto focused on individual domains, such as motor, mnemonic, or attentional inhibition. Here, we attempt to close this gap by highlighting recent work that demonstrates shared neuroanatomical and neurophysiological signatures of inhibitory control across domains. We propose that the regulation of thalamocortical drive by a fronto-subthalamic mechanism operating in the β band might be a domain-general mechanism for inhibitory control in the human brain.
抑制控制是灵活行为背后的一种基本机制，也是许多认知和心理科学领域理论的特征。然而，尽管许多理论隐含或明确地假设抑制控制是一个领域通用的过程，但迄今为止，绝大多数神经科学研究都集中在各个领域，如运动、记忆或注意力抑制。在这里，我们试图通过强调最近的研究来弥合这一差距，这些研究表明跨领域抑制控制具有共同的神经解剖学和神经生理学特征。我们提出，在β波段运行的额底丘脑机制对丘脑皮质驱动的调节可能是人类大脑中抑制控制的一种领域通用机制。
