Distinct neural systems for direct suppression and thought substitution, as proposed by Benoit et al. (2012). They proposed that direct suppression involves recruitment of DLPFC and disengagement of hippocampus while thought substitution recruits IFG (caudal PFC) and VLPFC (ROIs in red enclosures, red upward arrows represent hypothetized engagement of brain regions whereas blue downward arrows represent hypothetized disengagement of brain regions). Results from our LDA analysis was overlaid on the MNI anatomical template. We observed distributed activities in all ROIs being mentioned. Here we treat direct suppression and inhibition are interchangeable constructs.
