This review focuses on the neural processes of response inhibition, which is the ability to suppress behaviour and restrict a response. Smoking is known to affect different cognitive abilities, but only a few studies have investigated if smoking affects response inhibition and the few studies conducted show conflicting results. Two of the most used tasks to measure response inhibition are the Stop-Signal task and the Go/NoGo task, but before conducting research it is necessary to understand if there is a difference in both tasks and if yes to decide on the appropriate task. Two commonly used neuroimaging methods to understand the neural processes of response inhibition are functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the electroencephalogram (EEG). Combining both methods and conducting the fMRI and EEG simultaneously can give better insight into the temporal and spatial localisation of the neural processes underlying response inhibition. Lastly, suggestions to improve nicotine and response inhibition research are proposed. |
