Mental training enhances attentional stability: neural and behavioral evidence.

19 Oct 2009 The capacity to stabilize the content of attention over time varies among individuals, and its impairment is a hallmark of several mental illnesses. Impairments in sustained attention in patients with attention disorders have been associated with ... Read more...

Dichotic listening impairments in early onset schizophrenia are associated with reduced left temporal lobe volume.

4 May 2009 Dichotic listening (DL) impairments, in particular the loss or reduction of right ear advantage (REA) in people with schizophrenia have been variously interpreted as both a state and trait marker for schizophrenia. To date, there has been no ... Read more...

Structural and functional asymmetry in the human parietal opercular cortex.

6 Apr 2009 In this combined electroencephalographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, the asymmetry of functional and structural measures in the human parietal operculum (PO) were investigated. Median nerve somatosensory evoked potential recordings ... Read more...
