According to one view, Broca's area is involved in processing a subcomponent of syntactic processing. Another view holds that it contributes to sentence processing via verbal work...Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/013.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: To study links between the inhibition of motor responses and emotional evaluation, we combined electrophysiological measures of prefrontal response inhibition with behavioural measures of affective evaluation. Participants first performed a Go-Nogo t...Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/012.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Age-related declines in episodic memory performance are frequently reported, but their mechanisms remain poorly understood. Although several genetic variants and vascular risk factors have been linked to mnemonic performance in general and age differ...Fri, 03 Oct 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/011.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Genetic variability in the dopaminergic and neurotrophic systems could contribute to age-related impairments in executive control and memory function. In this study we examined whether genetic polymorphisms for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) an...Tue, 23 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/010.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Accurate estimates of the time-to-contact (TTC) of approaching objects are crucial for survival. We used an ecologically valid driving simulation to compare and contrast the neural substrates of egocentric (head-on approach) and allocentric (lateral ...Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/008.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Virtual reality (VR) is a powerful tool for simulating aspects of the real world. The success of VR is thought to depend on its ability to evoke a sense of "being there", that is, the feeling of "Presence". In view of the rapid progress in the develo...Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/007.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Several studies have revealed that posterior parietal and frontal regions support planning of hand movements but far less is known about how these cortical regions interact during the mental simulation of a movement. Here, we have used magnetoencepha...Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/006.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The integration of the human brain with computers is an interesting new area of applied neuroscience, where one application is replacement of a person’s real body by a virtual representation. Here we demonstrate that a virtual limb can be made ...Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/005.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The current study investigated behavioral and neural effects of motor, mental, and combined motor and mental training on a finger tapping task. The motor or mental training groups trained on a finger-sequence for a total of 72 min over six weeks. The...Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/004.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Lavie and colleagues (1995, JEP:HPP 9: 497-) have suggested that perceptual processing is influenced by perceptual load. Specifically, relevant information receives additional processing in high load situations exhausting the available capacity. On ...Fri, 23 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/003.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Theta oscillations in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) of mammals are involved in various functions such as spatial navigation, sensorimotor integration, and cognitive processing. While the theta rhythm was originally assumed to originate in the medial...Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: We demonstrate that common genetic polymorphisms contribute to the increasing heterogeneity of cognitive functioning in old age. We assess two common Val/Met polymorphisms, one affecting the Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) enzyme, which degrades ...Tue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/001.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: We used magneto-encephalography (MEG) to measure visually evoked activity in healthy volunteers performing saccadic eye movements to visual targets. The neuromagnetic activity was analyzed from regions of cortical activation identifi ed in separate f...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:50:03 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/002.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: This study examined the performance of 41 patients with focal prefrontal cortical lesions and 38 healthy controls on a task-switching procedure. Three different conditions were evaluated: single tasks without switches and two switching tasks with the...Fri, 28 Mar 2008 14:50:03 +0000http://www.frontiersin.org/humanneuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.09/013.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: This study aimed to clarify the neural substrates of behavioral switch and restart costs in intermittently instructed task-switching paradigms.
