Changes in cerebral blood flow are an essential feature of Alzheimer’s disease and have been linked to apolipoprotein E-genotype amyloid-deposition. These factors could be interdependent or influence via different mechanisms. We examined E-genotype, amyloid beta-deposition, amnestic mild cognitive impairment using pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling MRI 27 cognitively normal elderly 16 participants. Subjects underwent Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) positron emission tomography...
Highlights•The anterior insular cortex is critically involved in attentional functioning•Healthy participants increased activity their rAIC using rt-fMRI neurofeedback•rAIC upregulation enhanced alertness during attention task•Behavioral effects persisted up to three months after neurofeedback trainingSummaryThe cortex, a central node of the salience network, plays critical role cognitive control and attention. Here, we investigated feasibility enhancing real-time fMRI training that targets...
The neural control of "cooperative" hand movements reflecting "opening a bottle" was explored in human subjects by electromyographic (EMG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recordings. EMG responses to unilateral nonnoxious ulnar nerve stimulation were analyzed the forearm muscles both sides during dynamic against torque applied right device which compensated for left hand. For control, stimuli while task performed static/isometric mode bilateral synchronous pro-/supination...
Although the discovery and understanding of function vestibular system date back only to 19th century, strategies that involve stimulation were used long before calm, soothe even cure people. While such was classically achieved with various motion devices, like Cox’s chair or Hallaran’s swing, development caloric galvanic has opened up new possibilities in 20th century. With increasing knowledge recognition contributions perceptual, motor, cognitive, emotional processes, been suggested as a...
Abstract Maintenance of the bodily self relies on accurate integration multisensory inputs in which visuo‐vestibular cue is thought to play an essential role. Here, we tested healthy volunteers how conflicting input might impact body self‐coherence a full illusion set‐up. Natural passive vestibular stimulation was provided motion platform, while visual manipulated using virtual reality equipment. Explicit (questionnaire) and implicit (skin temperature) measures were employed assess illusory...
<title>Abstract</title> Understanding the neural foundations of response inhibition is pivotal to unraveling parts mechanisms cognitive control. Advanced human neuroimaging able converge temporal precision electroencephalography (EEG) with spatial accuracy simultaneous EEG-functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) illustrate intricate dynamics at play during a Go/No-Go (GNG) task, as performed by fifty-five right-handed participants. Our analysis reveals influence beta oscillations in...
Mental imagery is an essential ability to infer the future state of one's body. Neuroimaging studies have shown that mental simulations activate sensory or motor structures in brain are associated with overt action a perception generated by external stimuli. It suggested projection one’s own body different spatial location (egocentric rotation) based on areas also involved processing actual self-motion. Evidence for involvement vestibular information simulated changes self-location stems...
Mental imagery is an important strategy to infer the future state of one's body. Neuroimaging studies have shown that mental simulations activate sensory or motor structures in brain resemble overt action a perception generated by external stimuli. Similarly, it suggested rotation one’s own body relies on areas involved processing self-motion, most prominently vestibular system. Evidence for involvement system simulated changes self-location stems from behavioral experiments with healthy...
Abstract Many cognitive and social processes involve mental simulations of a change in perspective. Behavioral studies suggest that such egocentric rotations rely on brain areas are also involved processing actual self-motion, thus depending vestibular input. In combined galvanic stimulation (GVS) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study, we investigated the underlie both simulated changes self-location within same individuals. Participants performed an rotation task, object-based...
