Abstract Recent animal and human studies indicate the existence of a neural pathway for sound localization, which is similar to “where” visual system distinct from identification pathway. This study sought highlight this using passive listening protocol. We employed fMRI cortical areas, activated during processing sounds coming different locations, MEG disclose temporal dynamics these areas. In addition, hypothesis activation levels in right left hemispheres, due hemispheric specialization...
Cognitive inhibition is key to cognitive control in healthy and psychiatric conditions. Bipolar Disorder (BD) individuals display a range of inhibitory deficits high levels impulsivity across all stages the disease, including euthymia. We tested how heuristics favor analytical strategies influences elaboration sentences with logical quantifiers by means sentence-picture matching task which processing quantified containing universal particular was required. Behavioral brain oscillatory...
Several studies have identified a supramodal network critical to the reorienting of attention toward stimuli at novel locations and which involves right temporoparietal junction inferior frontal areas. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)\magnetoencephalography (MEG) study investigates: 1) cerebral circuit underlying attentional spatially varying sound locations; 2) related regular change location in same hemifield, across hemifields, or sounds presented randomly...
To characterize a peculiar "EEG endophenotype" of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) through the graph theory characterization avalanche spatiotemporal spreading properties. We performed analysis and computed transition matrices (ATMs) on 19-channel scalp EEG 120 people with (60 DRE 60 non-DRE) who assumed two anti-seizure medications, comparing such results group 40 healthy subjects (HS). Network topologies ATMs were characterized metrics. an variance to compare aperiodic metrics between HS,...
Abstract In a recent functional magnetic resonance imaging study, complex neural circuit was shown to be involved in human males during sexual arousal [A. Ferretti et al. (2005) Neuroimage , 26 1086]. At group level, there specific correlation between penile erection and activations anterior cingulate, insula, amygdala, hypothalamus secondary somatosensory regions. However, it is well known that are remarkable inter‐individual differences the psychological view attitude sex of males....
Pointing gesture allows children to communicate their intentions before the acquisition of language. In particular, two main purposes seem underlie gesture: request a desired object (imperative pointing) or share attention on that (declarative pointing). Since imperative pointing has an instrumental goal and declarative interpersonal one, only latter is thought signal infant's awareness communicative partner as mental agent. The present study examined neural responses adult subjects with aim...
Abstract Stimulus-Response conflict is generated by an overlap between stimulus and response dimensions, but the intrinsic nature of this interaction not yet deeply clarified. In study, using a modified Eriksen flanker task, we have investigated how flankers to be incongruent target in order produce interference whether interacts with one produced Stimulus features overlap. To these aims, Eriksen-like task employing oriented hands\arrows has been designed distinguish two types (S-R)...
One fundamental principle of the brain functional organization is elaboration sensory information for specification action plans that are most appropriate interaction with environment. Using an incidental go/no-go priming paradigm, we have previously shown a facilitation effect execution walking-related in response to far vs. near objects/locations extrapersonal space, and this has been called "macro-affordance" reflect role locomotion coverage distance. Here, investigated neurophysiological...
