ALERT: This system is being upgraded on Tuesday December 12. It will not be available
for use for several hours that day while the upgrade is in progress. Deposits to DukeSpace
will be disabled on Monday December 11, so no new items are to be added to the repository
while the upgrade is in progress. Everything should be back to normal by the end of
day, December 12.

Attractor Dynamics in Networks with Learning Rules Inferred from In Vivo Data.
(Neuron, 2018-07)The attractor neural network scenario is a popular scenario for memory storage in the association cortex, but there is still a large gap between models based on this scenario and experimental data. We study a recurrent network ... -
H.M.'s personal crossword puzzles: understanding memory and language.
(Memory, 2008-02)The amnesic patient H.M. has been solving crossword puzzles nearly all his life. Here, we analysed the linguistic content of 277 of H.M.'s crossword-puzzle solutions. H.M. did not have any unusual difficulties with ... -
Inferring learning rules from distributions of firing rates in cortical neurons.
(Nat Neurosci, 2015-12)Information about external stimuli is thought to be stored in cortical circuits through experience-dependent modifications of synaptic connectivity. These modifications of network connectivity should lead to changes in neuronal ... -
Less wiring, more firing: low-performing older adults compensate for impaired white matter with greater neural activity.
(Cereb Cortex, 2015-04)The reliable neuroimaging finding that older adults often show greater activity (over-recruitment) than younger adults is typically attributed to compensation. Yet, the neural mechanisms of over-recruitment in older adults ... -
Puzzling thoughts for H. M.: can new semantic information be anchored to old semantic memories?
(Neuropsychology, 2004-10)Researchers currently debate whether new semantic knowledge can be learned and retrieved despite extensive damage to medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures. The authors explored whether H. M., a patient with amnesia, could ... -
Sensory-motor transformations for speech occur bilaterally.
(Nature, 2014-03-06)Historically, the study of speech processing has emphasized a strong link between auditory perceptual input and motor production output. A kind of 'parity' is essential, as both perception- and production-based representations ... -
Variability in frontotemporal brain structure: the importance of recruitment of African Americans in neuroscience research.
(PLoS One, 2010-10-26)BACKGROUND: Variation in brain structure is both genetically and environmentally influenced. The question about potential differences in brain anatomy across populations of differing race and ethnicity remains a controversial ... -
Visual memory loss and autobiographical amnesia: a case study.
(Neuropsychologia, 2005)Amnesia typically results from trauma to the medial temporal regions that coordinate activation among the disparate areas of cortex that represent the information that make up autobiographical memories. We proposed that ... -
When strangers pass: processing of mutual and averted social gaze in the superior temporal sulcus.
(Psychol Sci, 2004-09)Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated brain activity evoked by mutual and averted gaze in a compelling and commonly experienced social encounter. Through virtual-reality goggles, subjects viewed ...
