抑制性控制是一种核心执行功能，在婴儿期出现，并在整个儿童期迅速发展。方法学的局限性意味着研究的神经相关的抑制控制在幻想是罕见的。采用功能性近红外光谱技术以及一种测量反应抑制的新型触摸屏任务，本研究旨在揭示10个月大婴儿（N = 135）抑制控制的神经基础。我们发现，当需要抑制时，右前额叶和顶叶皮质比没有抑制需求时更活跃。这表明，10个月大的婴儿的抑制控制与年龄较大的儿童和成人的大脑区域相似。通过这项研究，我们将反应抑制神经基质定位的年龄界限降低到了生命的第一年。
Inhibitory control, a core executive function, emerges in infancy and develops rapidly across childhood. Method-ological limitations have meant that studies investigating the neural correlates underlying inhibitory control in in-fancy are rare. Employing functional near-infrared spectroscopy alongside a novel touchscreen task that measures response inhibition, this study aimed to uncover the neural underpinnings of inhibitory control in 10-month-old infants ( N = 135). We found that when inhibition was required, the right prefrontal and parietal cortices were more activated than when there was no inhibitory demand. This demonstrates that inhibitory control in infants as young as 10 months of age is supported by similar brain areas as in older children and adults. With this study we have lowered the age-boundary for localising the neural substrates of response inhibition to the first year of life.
