Physiological and neurochemical mechanisms of executive control

这项研究将研究操纵大脑化学物质如何影响我们抑制行为和监控我们自己的表现错误的能力。我们将使用事件相关电位(ERPs)和功能磁共振成像(FMRI)的生理学技术来确定大脑的反应。第一种技术允许我们确定药物如何影响神经事件的时间安排，而第二种技术允许我们确定这些药物在大脑中的作用位置。

This study will examine how manipulating brain chemistry influences our ability to inhibit behaviour and monitor our own performance errors. We will determine the response of the brain using the physiological techniques of event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The first technique allows us to determine how drugs influence the timing of neural events, while the second technique allows us to determine where in the brain these drugs act.
