The ability to encode and update representations of heading direction is crucial for successful navigation. In rats, head-direction cells located within the limbic system alter their firing rate in accordance with animal's current heading. To date, however, neural structures that underlie an allocentric or viewpoint-independent sense humans remain unknown. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measure adaptation distinctive landmarks associated one four directions a...
Landmarks play an important role in guiding navigational behavior. A host of studies the last 15 years has demonstrated that environmental objects can act as landmarks for navigation different ways. In this review, we propose a parsimonious four-part taxonomy conceptualizing object location information during navigation. We begin by outlining properties appear to be landmark attain salience. then systematically examine functions based on previous behavioral and neuroanatomical findings...
Real-life moving objects are often detected by multisensory cues. We investigated the cortical activity associated with coherent visual motion perception in presence of a stationary or auditory noise source using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Twelve subjects judged episodes 5-s random-dot containing either no (0%) abundant (16%) direction information. Auditory was presented displayed that phase, out-of-phase, stationary. Subjects whether present, and if so, not moving. Performance...
The central hub of the cortical vestibular network in humans is likely localized region posterior lateral sulcus. An area characterized by responsiveness to visual motion has previously been described at a similar location and named insular cortex (PIC). Currently it not known whether PIC processes information as well. We using stimulation functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) investigated also responds stimuli. To this end, we designed an MRI-compatible caloric device that allowed us...
The human cerebellum contains approximately half of all the neurons within cerebrum, yet most experimental work in neuroscience over last century has focused exclusively on structure and functions forebrain. an undisputed role a range motor (Thach et al., 1992), but its potential contributions to sensory cognitive processes are widely debated (Stoodley Schmahmann, 2009). Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging test hypothesis that is involved acquisition auditory visual data. We...
The human parahippocampal cortex has been ascribed central roles in both visuospatial and mnemonic processes. More specifically, evidence suggests that the subserves perceptual analysis of scene layouts as well retrieval associative contextual memories. It remains unclear, however, whether these two functional can be dissociated within anatomically. Here, we provide for a dissociation between neural activation patterns associated with scenes processing along longitudinal axis. We used fMRI...
Honey bee photoreceptors contain large sacs of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that can be located unequivocally in freeze-dried cryosections. The elemental composition the ER was determined by electron probe x-ray microanalysis and visualized high-resolution maps. In dark-adapted photoreceptors, Ca concentration 47.5 +/- 1.1 mmol/kg (dry weight) (mean SEM). During a 3-sec nonsaturating light stimulus, approximately 50% content released from ER. Light stimulation also caused highly significant...
In this paper we present a novel, condition-invariant place recognition algorithm inspired by recent discoveries in human visual neuroscience. The combines intolerant but fast low resolution whole image matching with highly tolerant, sub-image patch processes. approach does not require prior training and works on single images, alleviating the need for either velocity signal or sequence, differentiating it from current state of art methods. We conduct an exhaustive set experiments evaluating...
Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019)-induced changes in the workplace present a timely opportunity for human resource management practitioners to consider and remediate deleterious effects of noise, commonly cited complaint employees working open-plan office (OPO) environments. While self-reports suggest that OPO noise is perceived as stressor, there little experimental research comprehensively investigating on terms their cognitive performance, physiological indicators stress,...
Gender differences in navigation performance are a recurrent and controversial topic. Previous research suggests that men outperform women tasks exhibit different strategies. Here, we investigate whether motivation to complete the task moderates relationship between gender. Participants learned locations of landmarks novel virtual city. During learning, participants could trigger top-down map depicted their current position landmarks. testing, were divided into control treatment groups not...
Anorexia Nervosa is the most deadly mental illness due to high mortality and relapse rates after reaching remission. The systematic review investigated effectiveness of two empirically validated interventions (Family-Based Therapy [FBT] Adolescent-Focused [AFT]) for an adolescent or young adult living with reach partial full remission expected weight ratios. Twelve studies published between 1994 2015 were evaluated indicated that FBT resulted in significant gain higher than AFT,...
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), posterior parietal cortex, and regions in the occipital have been identified as neural sites for visual working memory (WM). The exact involvement of DLPFC verbal non-verbal processes, how these processes depend on time-span retention, remains disputed.We used functional MRI to explore correlates delayed discrimination Gabor stimuli differing orientation. Twelve subjects were instructed code relative orientation either verbally or non-verbally with...
The hippocampus is widely assumed to play a central role in representing spatial layouts the form of "cognitive maps." It remains unclear, however, which properties world are explicitly encoded hippocampus, and how these might contribute formation cognitive maps. Here we investigated physical size complexity, two key any environment, affect memory-related neural activity human hippocampus. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging virtual maze-learning task examine retrieval-related for...
