This chapter reviews recent evidence of top-down control over the motor cortex during action selection under conflict and action inhibition and describes the role of the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA) and right inferior frontal gyrus (rIFG) in mediating this control. It focuses on the insights gained from transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of action reprogramming. The chapter also looks at the interactions within the frontal lobe and discusses how they influence top-down control.Less
