Despite a growing literature on sex differences during stop signal task performance, a consensus still has not been reached due to variations in task design and analysis methods. Due to these disparate findings we used up to date stop signal task methods to compare behavioral performance and associated brain activation between males and females using an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging design. We observed that males were faster in inhibiting their responses, but females exhibited marked increased in stopping network activation, in addition to increased activation of the anterior insula and left amygdala. These findings suggest that males and females process stop signals differently. | URI: | http://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/22831 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.bbr.2020.112586 | ORCID: | 0000-0003-1009-6619 | Journal: | Behavioural brain research | PubMed URL: | 32194187 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Amygdala Cognitive control Response inhibition Right inferior frontal gyrus fMRI |
