Abstract: | ObjectiveWe investigated the characteristics of cortical rhythmic activity in No-go processing during somatosensory Go/No-go paradigms, by using magnetoencephalography (MEG).MethodsTwelve normal subjects performed a warning stimulus (S1) – imperative stimulus (S2) task with Go/No-go paradigms. The recordings were conducted in three conditions. In Condition 1, the Go stimulus was delivered to the second digit, and the No-go stimulus to the fifth digit. The participants responded by pushing a button with their right thumb for the Go stimulus. In Condition 2, the Go and No-go stimuli were reversed. Condition 3 was the resting control.ResultsA rebound in amplitude was recorded in the No-go trials for theta, alpha, and beta activity, peaking at 600–900 ms. A suppression of amplitude was recorded in Go and No-go trials for alpha activity, peaking at 300–600 ms, and in Go and No-go trials for beta activity, peaking at 200–300 ms.ConclusionThe cortical rhythmic activity clearly has several dissociated components relating to different motor functions, including response inhibition, execution, and decision-making.SignificanceThe present study revealed the characteristics of cortical rhythmic activity in No-go processing. |
