The Angular Gyrus
Tập 19 Số 1 - Trang 43-61 - 2013
There is considerable interest in the structural and functional properties of
the angular gyrus (AG). Located in the posterior part of the inferior parietal
lobule, the AG has been shown in numerous meta-analysis reviews to be
consistently activated in a variety of tasks. This review discusses the
involvement of the AG in semantic processing, word reading and comprehension,
number processing, defa...
Dorsal and Ventral Attention Systems
Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 150-159 - 2014
The idea of two separate attention networks in the human brain for the voluntary
deployment of attention and the reorientation to unexpected events,
respectively, has inspired an enormous amount of research over the past years.
In this review, we will reconcile these theoretical ideas on the dorsal and
ventral attentional system with recent empirical findings from human
neuroimaging experiments an...
The P300: Where in the Brain Is It Produced and What Does It Tell Us?
Tập 11 Số 6 - Trang 563-576 - 2005
Intracranial recordings, lesion studies, and the combination of functional
imaging with source analysis have produced a solid body of evidence about the
generators of the P300 event-related potential. Although it is impossible to
square all findings obtained across and within methodologies, a consistent
pattern of generators has emerged, with target-related responses in the parietal
cortex and the...
The Amygdala and Persistent Pain
Tập 10 Số 3 - Trang 221-234 - 2004
A reciprocal relationship exists between persistent pain and negative affective
states such as fear, anxiety, and depression. Accumulating evidence points to
the amygdala as an important site of such interaction. Whereas a key role of the
amygdala in the neuronal mechanisms of emotionality and affective disorders has
been well established, the concept of the amygdala as an important contributor
to...
Mapping Changes in the Human Cortex throughout the Span of Life
Tập 10 Số 4 - Trang 372-392 - 2004
In this review, the authors summarize the literature on brain morphological
changes that occur throughout the human life span from childhood into old age.
They examine changes observed postmortem and in vivo where various brain MRI
analytic methods have been applied. They evaluate brain changes observed with
volumetric image analytic methods and voxel-based morphometric methods that may
be used to...
The GABA Excitatory/Inhibitory Shift in Brain Maturation and Neurological Disorders
Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 467-486 - 2012
Ionic currents and the network-driven patterns they generate differ in immature
and adult neurons: The developing brain is not a “small adult brain.” One of the
most investigated examples is the developmentally regulated shift of actions of
the transmitter GABA that inhibit adult neurons but excite immature ones because
of an initially higher intracellular chloride concentration [Cl−]i, leading to...
Nitric Oxide Signaling in Brain Function, Dysfunction, and Dementia
Tập 16 Số 4 - Trang 435-452 - 2010
Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is widely used in the
nervous system. With recognition of its roles in synaptic plasticity (long-term
potentiation, LTP; long-term depression, LTD) and elucidation of
calcium-dependent, NMDAR-mediated activation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase
(nNOS), numerous molecular and pharmacological tools have been used to explore
the physiology an...
Hedonic Hot Spots in the Brain
Tập 12 Số 6 - Trang 500-511 - 2006
Hedonic “liking” for sensory pleasures is an important aspect of reward, and
excessive ‘liking’ of particular rewards might contribute to excessive
consumption and to disorders such as obesity. The present review aims to
summarize recent advances in the identification of brain substrates for food
‘liking’ with a focus on opioid hot spots in the nucleus accumbens and ventral
pallidum. Drug microinj...
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation
Tập 23 Số 2 - Trang 109-123 - 2017
In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in the understanding and
practical use of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques.
Nevertheless, to date, this experimental effort has not been accompanied by
substantial reflections on the models and mechanisms that could explain the
stimulation effects. Given these premises, the aim of this article is to provide
an updated picture ...
Neural Systems for Error Monitoring
Tập 13 Số 2 - Trang 160-172 - 2007
Complex behavior requires a flexible system that maintains task performance in
the context of specific goals, evaluating behavioral progress, adjusting
behavior as needed, and adapting to changing contingencies. Generically referred
to as performance monitoring, a key component concerns the identification and
correction of differences between an intended and an executed response (i.e., an
error). ...
