The neural face perception network is distributed across both hemispheres. However, the dominant role in humans virtually unanimously attributed to right hemisphere. Interestingly, there are, our knowledge, no imaging studies that systematically describe distribution of hemispheric lateralization core system subjects large cohorts so far. To address this, we determined all regions (i.e., occipital area - OFA, fusiform FFA, posterior superior temporal sulcus pSTS) 108 healthy using functional...

Face processing is mediated by a distributed neural network commonly divided into "core system" and an "extended system". The core system consists of several, typically right-lateralized brain regions in the occipito-temporal cortex, including occipital face area (OFA), fusiform (FFA) posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS). It was recently proposed that initially bilateral becomes right-specialized course development reading abilities due to competition between language-related left...

Illusory face detection tasks can be used to study the neural correlates of top-down influences on perception. In a typical functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) design, subjects are presented with pure noise images, but told that half stimuli contain face. The illusory perception network is assessed by comparing blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses images in which has been detected against BOLD activity related no detected. present study, we highlight existence strong...

Tumor-cell infiltration is a major obstacle to successful therapy for brain tumors. Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMPs), metzincin subfamily of six proteases, are important mediators infiltration. The cellular source MT-MMPs and their role in glioma biology, however, remain controversial. Thus, we comprehensively analyzed the expression primary All were differentially expressed In diffuse gliomas, MT-MMP1, -3, -4 predominantly by IDH1mutated tumor cells, while...

The most basic aspect of face perception is simply detecting the presence a face, which requires extraction features that it has in common with other faces. Putatively, caused by matching high-dimensional sensory input internal templates, achieved through top-down mediated coupling between prefrontal regions and brain areas occipito-temporal cortex ("core system perception"). Illusory detection tasks can be used to study these influences. In present functional magnetic resonance imaging...

In the field of face processing, so-called "core network" has been intensively researched. Its neural activity can be reliably detected in children and adults using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). However, core network's counterpart, "extended network," less present study, we compared children's adults' brain extended system, particular amygdala, insula, inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Using fMRI, activation pattern between aged 7-9 years during an emotional processing task. On...

Introduction Face perception plays an important role in the human visual system as it serves basis for communication and social interaction majority of people. At neuroanatomical level, processing faces is mediated by a distributed hierarchical neural network, which often divided into core extended (e.g. Haxby, 2000). The consists several brain regions occipito-temporal cortex: fusiform face area (FFA), occipital (OFA) posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS). Each region different...

Introduction Paediatric functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies on face perception mainly focused the location of regions in so-called core network processing located occipito-temporal cortex. Little research has been done networkʼs counterpart, extended network. The present fMRI study seeks to close this gap by examining activation patterns within during emotional children. Regarding localisation regions, recent literature points an increasing specification typical...

Introduction Face pareidolia is the illusory perception of non-existent faces. Putatively, it caused by matching high-dimensional sensory input with internal face templates, achieved through a top-down mediated coupling between prefrontal regions and brain areas in ventral temporal cortex, so-called “core system perception”. The objective this study was to understand mechanisms core more detail.

Introduction Reading other peopleʼs emotional facial expressions is a crucial aspect of social communication. What most people take for granted, an insurmountable obstacle patients suffering from Autism-Spectrum-Disorder (ASD) or affected with condition called blindness (Alexithymia). In the present study, we aimed to gain deeper understanding underlying brain areas involved in such complex task as successful categorization emotions. While research on emotion has been conducted stereotypic...
