“…Moreover, besides the ACC, it is likely that other brain regions (including the inferior frontal gyrus) might actually contribute to the emotional processing or regulation of simple responses (see Brown et al, 2012) and as such, either directly or indirectly participate to the evaluative priming effect here reported. Therefore, imaging studies combining hemodynamic (fMRI) and neurophysiological (EEG) measurements of brain activity might help elucidate the actual spatio-temporal dynamic and specific contribution of nonoverlapping brain regions during the internal affective monitoring of actions (see Debener et al, 2005).…”

The accuracy of actions is swiftly determined through specific monitoring brain systems. Event-related potential (ERP) studies have shown that error commission is associated with the generation of the error-related negativity (ERN/Ne), while correct actions with the correct-related negativity (CRN). Although the exact functional meaning of the ERN/Ne (and CRN) component remains debated, some authors have suggested that it reflects the processing of the emotional significance of actions. However, no study to date has directly linked amplitude changes at the level of the ERN/Ne-CRN to the affective processing of actions. In order to decode the emotional valence of actions performed during a Go/noGo task, we used an evaluative priming method in this study. After each action following the Go/noGo stimulus, participants had to categorize an evaluative word as either positive or negative. Behavioral results showed that response errors (i.e., False Alarms -FAs) performed during the Go/noGo task led to a faster categorization of negative than positive words.Remarkably, this evaluative priming effect was related to the magnitude of the ERN/Ne component generated during the Go/noGo task. Moreover, ERP results showed that the processing of evaluative words following FAs was influenced early on after word onset (early posterior negativity-EPN effect), while it was influenced later following correct as well as incorrect actions (late positive potential-LPP effect). Altogether, these ERP results suggest that the action-related ERN-CRN component encodes the perceived emotional significance of actions, such that early stages of evaluative word processing following these actions are influenced by this automatic process.3

“…Interestingly, in terms of these regions, not only has the IFG been firmly established as a salient region within the adult response inhibition and substance use literatures (Claus, Feldstein Ewing, Filbey, & Hutchison, 2013), it has also been found to have an important role in adolescent attention and response inhibition efforts (Geier, 2013). Furthermore, recent studies have indicated the role of the IFG (both left and right) in emotionally-laden decision-making (Brown et al, 2012). These IFG findings are paralleled by studies showing the role of the insula as well, both within cognitive-emotional, as well as risk-related decision-making efforts during this particular developmental period (Panwar et al, 2014; Smith, Steinberg, & Chein, 2014).…”

While many have identified the important role of the developing brain in youth risk behavior, few have examined the relationship between salient cognitive factors (response inhibition) and different types of real-world adolescent health risk behaviors (substance use and risky sex) within the same sample of youth. We therefore sought to examine these relationships with 95 high-risk youth (ages 14-18; M age = 16.29 years). We examined the relationship between blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response to an fMRI-based cognitive task designed to assess response inhibition (Go/NoGo) and past month risk behavior (number of substance use days; number of unprotected sex days). For this sample of youth, we found significant negative correlations between past month substance use and response inhibition within the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and right insula (uncorrected p < .001; extent threshold ≥ 10 voxels). In addition, in the same contrast, we found significant positive correlations between past month risky sex and activation within the right IFG and left middle occipital gyrus (uncorrected p < .001; extent threshold ≥ 10 voxels). These results suggest the particular relevance of these regions in this compelling, albeit slightly different pattern of response for adolescent substance use and risky sex.

“…With regard to brain function underlying the interaction between emotional faces and cognitive control, an fMRI study in normal volunteers using an emotional go/no-go task with aversive distractor images revealed that the posterior middle temporal gyrus and angular gyrus exhibited larger activation for aversive distractor trials compared to neutral distractor trials, suggesting the involvement of the middle temporal gyrus in impulse control evoked by emotional situations (Brown et al, 2012). An fMRI study of patients with SZ demonstrated that during an emotional go/no-go task using emotional words (i.e.…”
