Fig. 3. Brain regions engaged during both action stopping and retrieval stopping.

Fig. 3

Red areas reflect the activations arising after a within-subjects conjunction (Stop action > Go & No-Think > Think) for people asked to stop actions and stop retrieval; blue areas reflect the results of a meta-analytic conjunction across 56 separate studies of action stopping (N = 40) and retrieval stopping (N = 16); yellow areas reflect the overlap between the meta-analytic and within-subjects conjunctions. Demarcated regions are Brodmann’s areas. Key clusters of activation include the right anterior DLPFC (BA 9/46/10), the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG, BA44/45) and Insula and ACC (BA32). Apart from the Insula, relatively few left-sided activations arise, and so are not depicted.
