<unk> , also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process – and, more specifically, an executive function – that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli ( prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals. Self-control is an important aspect of<unk> . For example, successfully suppressing the natural behavioral response to eat cake when one is craving it while dieting requires the use of<unk> . The prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus, and subthalamic nucleus are known to regulate<unk>  cognition.<unk>  is impaired in both addiction and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In healthy adults and ADHD individuals,<unk>  improves over the short term with low (therapeutic) doses of methylphenidate or amphetamine.<unk>  may also be improved over the long-term via consistent aerobic exercise.
