Feedback Inhibition

58.7K
Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Long-term Potentiation

3.9K
Long-term potentiation, or LTP, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTP is the process of synaptic strengthening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic strengthening of LTP works in opposition to the synaptic weakening of long-term depression (LTD) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Neuroplasticity
  • Neuroimaging

Background:

  • The trainability of inhibitory control and its neuroplastic mechanisms are not fully understood.
  • Investigating how to optimize training for enhancing inhibitory control is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore how inhibitory control training regimens can be designed to enhance frontal top-down inhibition.
  • To examine the neuroplastic mechanisms underlying improvements in inhibitory control.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized electrical neuroimaging methods to study inhibitory control.
  • Employed a Go/NoGo task with systematically varied stimulus-response mapping rules.
  • Analyzed event-related potentials (ERPs) and electrical source estimations to assess training effects.

Main Results:

  • Training improved inhibitory control performance.
  • A significant interaction between session and stimulus type was observed in ERPs (300-400 ms) over centro-occipital electrodes.
  • Source estimations revealed training-related modulation in right inferior frontal cortices, specifically a reduced response to NoGo trials.

Conclusions:

  • Specifically designed inhibitory control training regimens can effectively enhance frontal top-down inhibition processes.
  • Neuroplastic changes in the right inferior frontal cortex are associated with improved inhibitory control.
  • The findings provide insights into optimizing training protocols for cognitive enhancement.
