[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the development of motor response inhibition and error processing abilities in children and adolescents using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in combination with a Go/NoGo task.Materials and Methods: Forty-two children and adolescents, ranging in age from 8 to 17, took part in this experiment, while behavioral and fMRI data were collected. The data were analyzed using SPM8 and SPSS, and then correlation analysis was done between age and the inferior frontal gyrus, a key area for motor response inhibition.Results: The results showed that reaction time was decreased with age, while accuracy was increased with age during the Go/NoGo task. We investigated that the activation of the inferior frontal gyrus was increased significantly with age in 8—15 year-old subjects during response inhibition. Furthermore, we observed that the activation of the inferior frontal gyrus reached a peak platform in the late adolescence. And the activation of right inferior frontal gyrus was increased significantly with age during error processing.Conclusions: These data suggest that the inferior frontal gyrus plays an important role in motor response inhibition. The inferior frontal gyrus may develop with age in early adolescence, and then reach a peak platform in late adolescence, when it is mature and close to adult level.
