Sequential processing of lexical, grammatical, and phonological information within Broca's area.

14 Oct 2009 Words, grammar, and phonology are linguistically distinct, yet their neural substrates are difficult to distinguish in macroscopic brain regions. We investigated whether they can be separated in time and space at the circuit level using intracranial ... Read more...

Modalities, modes, and models in functional neuroimaging.

14 Oct 2009 In this, the 21st century, human-brain mapping celebrates 21 years of cognitive activation studies. This review looks at imaging neuroscience and key ideas it has pursued; some ideas portend exciting developments, and others have failed gloriously. ... Read more...

Testosterone and unconscious positive priming increase human motivation separately.

21 Sep 2009 Clinical observations suggest that testosterone generates unconscious broad-spectrum motivations to act. It has also been suggested that subliminal positive-priming techniques also unconsciously enhances motivation for action. This ... Read more...
