Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Inhibitory control is a crucial cognitive function that enables individuals to suppress or inhibit prepotent responses or behavior and impulse control and promote attentional focus, working memory, decision making, planning, and emotion regulation. Research suggests that inhibitory control deficits may contribute to various mental disorders, including ADHD, OCD, addiction, anxiety, and depression. Despite the growing literature on inhibitory control, there is a need to consolidate and synthesize the findings across different mental disorders. This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research papers, reviews, and theoretical perspectives on inhibitory control in mental disorders and discuss the implications for clinical practice and future research.
The journal Brain Sciences welcomes diverse research methodologies, including neuroimaging, brain stimulation, behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and clinical trials. The target audience includes researchers, clinicians, and students in psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and other related fields.
Overall, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their research, theories, and perspectives on inhibitory control in mental disorders and foster new collaborations and ideas in this burgeoning field of research.
Topics may include:
- The neural mechanisms underlying inhibitory control: from order to disorder;
- The role of impaired inhibitory control in the development of mental disorders;
- The behavioral and cognitive consequences of impaired inhibitory control deficits in mental disorders, including impulsivity, emotion regulation, and decision making;
- The effectiveness of inhibitory control training in mental disorders;
- The implication of non-invasive brain stimulation in the modulation of inhibitory control.
