The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Differentiating sensitivity of post-stimulus undershoot under diffusion weighting: implication of vascular and neuronal hierarchy.
(PLoS One, 2008-08-13)
The widely used blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) signal during brain activation,
as measured in typical fMRI methods, is composed of several distinct phases, the last
of which, and perhaps the least understood, is ...
The time course of segmentation and cue-selectivity in the human visual cortex.
(PLoS One, 2012)
Texture discontinuities are a fundamental cue by which the visual system segments
objects from their background. The neural mechanisms supporting texture-based segmentation
are therefore critical to visual perception and ...
The neuropsychology of autobiographical memory.
(Cortex, 2003-09)
This special issue of Cortex focuses on the relative contribution of different neural
networks to memory and the interaction of 'core' memory processes with other cognitive
processes. In this article, we examine ...
Corollary discharge circuits in the primate brain.
(Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2008-12)
Movements are necessary to engage the world, but every movement results in sensorimotor
ambiguity. Self-movements cause changes to sensory inflow as well as changes in the
positions of objects relative to motor effectors ...
Brain evolution by brain pathway duplication.
(Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2015-12-19)
Understanding the mechanisms of evolution of brain pathways for complex behaviours
is still in its infancy. Making further advances requires a deeper understanding of
brain homologies, novelties and analogies. It also requires ...
Fear learning circuitry is biased toward generalization of fear associations in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Transl Psychiatry, 2015-12-15)
Fear conditioning is an established model for investigating posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). However, symptom triggers may vaguely resemble the initial traumatic event,
differing on a variety of sensory and affective ...
The exon junction complex component Magoh controls brain size by regulating neural stem cell division.
(Nat Neurosci, 2010-05)
Brain structure and size require precise division of neural stem cells (NSCs), which
self-renew and generate intermediate neural progenitors (INPs) and neurons. The factors
that regulate NSCs remain poorly understood, and ...
A relationship between behavior, neurotrophin expression, and new neuron survival.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2000-07-18)
The high vocal center (HVC) controls song production in songbirds and sends a projection
to the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA) of the descending vocal pathway. HVC
receives new neurons in adulthood. Most of the ...
Learned birdsong and the neurobiology of human language.
(Ann N Y Acad Sci, 2004-06)
Vocal learning, the substrate for human language, is a rare trait found to date in
only three distantly related groups of mammals (humans, bats, and cetaceans) and three
distantly related groups of birds (parrots, hummingbirds, ...
