The effects of neurochemical balance in the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on volitional control under irrelevant distraction
Volitional control has been related to the excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) ratio of glutamate-
glutamine to γ-aminobutyric acid concentration in the different parts of the frontal cortex. Yet,
how the neurochemical balance in each of the brain areas modulates volitional control
remains unclear. Here, participants performed an auditory Go/No-Go task with and without
task-irrelevant face distractors. Neurochemical balance was measured with magnetic
resonance spectroscopy at rest. Participants with higher E/I ratios in the dorsolateral …
