The human brain analyzes a visual object first by basic feature detectors. On the objects way to conscious percept, these features are integrated in subsequent stages of hierarchy. time course this integration is largely unknown. To shed light on temporal dynamics integration, we applied transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) fusion paradigm. In fusion, two stimuli which differ one presented rapid succession such that they not perceived individually but as single stimulus only. fused...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as a new treatment option for depression. Previous studies were performed with low sample sizes in single centres and reported heterogeneous results.To investigate the efficacy of rTMS augmentative depression.In randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled multicentre trial 127 patients moderate to severe depressive episodes randomly assigned real or sham 3 weeks addition simultaneously initiated antidepressant medication.We...
Late Osagean to Meramecian Platycrinites and Eucladocrinus from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri are redescribed redefined study of type material. Three the oldest species were incorrectly synonymized with P. sarae , this correction leads a realignment systematics within Platycrinites. Accordingly, six one considered valid in Keokuk Limestone through St. Louis stratotype area. Valid include saffordi (Hall), georgii pumilus brevinodus niotensis (Meek Worthen), millebrachiatus Wahsmuth Springer....
ABSTRACT Physical activity is not only beneficial to physical health but also cognitive functions. In particular, executive functions that are closely related learning achievement can be improved by acute and recurring activity. We examined the effects of a single 30‐min education program in contrast 5‐min movement break on working memory, flexibility, inhibition attention behavioral tendencies eighty‐one 13‐ 14‐year‐old students grade 7 Germany. Results indicate maintenance on‐task face...
We experience the world as a seamless stream of percepts. However, intriguing illusions and recent experiments suggest that is not continuously translated into conscious perception. Instead, perception seems to operate in discrete manner, just like movies appear continuous although they consist images. To explain how temporal resolution human vision can be fast compared sluggish perception, we propose novel conceptual framework which features objects, such their color, are quasi-continuously...
The processing and perception of individual internal bodily signals (interoception) has been differentiated to comprise different levels processes involved. so-called heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP) offers an additional possibility examine automatic cardiac signals. Knowledge on neural structures potentially supporting facets interoception is still sparse. One way get insights into neuroanatomical function manipulate the activity brain structures. In this study, we used repetitive...
Abstract The electroencephalographic response to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) recently has been established as a direct parameter of motor cortex excitability. Its N100 component was suggested reflect an inhibitory response. We investigated influences cerebral maturation on TMS‐evoked in 6‐ 10‐year‐old healthy children. used forewarned reaction time (contingent negative variation) task test the effects preparation and sensory attention amplitude. Single‐pulse TMS at 105% threshold...
Predator–prey interactions are thought by many researchers to define both modern ecosystems and past macroevolutionary events. In ecosystems, experimental removal or addition of taxa is often used determine trophic relationships predator identity. Both characteristics notoriously difficult infer in the fossil record, where evidence predation usually limited damage from failed attacks, individual stomach contents, one-sided escalation, analogs. As a result, role macroevolution dismissed favor...
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most frequent neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood. Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies based on muscle responses (motor-evoked potentials) suggested that reduced motor inhibition contributes to hyperactivity, a core symptom disease. Here we employed N100 component electroencephalographic response transcranial as novel marker for direct assessment cortical inhibitory processes, which has not been examined attention so far. We...
Crinoids reached their highest generic richness and overall abundance during the Mississippian, which thus has been dubbed Age of Crinoids. The causes are hypothesized to be from coincidence two factors. First, in wake Late Devonian mass-extinction event, five major crinoid groups recovered radiated Early Mississippian. advanced cladids continued radiate origin a peak Middle Mississippian (Visean) that was not exceeded again until Pennsylvanian (Moscovian). Second, event destroyed extensive...
Late Paleozoic faunas found in sediments of dysaerobic origin represent a unique community type that remained essentially unchanged from the Middle Devonian to Early Permian. This had following characteristics: (1) dominance by vagile molluscs, with suspension-feeding brachiopods, bryozoans, corals and echinoderms usually subordinate; (2) trophic structure dominated deposit feeders carnivorous or scavenging cephalopods; (3) small body size as result high juvenile mortality possibly stunting;...
