Enhancement of planning ability by transcranial direct current stimulation.

Jun 2009 The functional neuroanatomy of executive function critically involves the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been established as a noninvasive tool for transient modulation of cortical function. Here, ... Read more...

Recruitment of an area involved in eye movements during mental arithmetic.

5 May 2009 Throughout the history of mathematics, concepts of number and space have been tightly intertwined. We tested the hypothesis that cortical circuits for spatial attention contribute to mental arithmetic in humans. We trained a multivariate classifier ... Read more...

The use of messages in altering risky gambling behavior in college students: an experimental analogue study.

29 Apr 2009 This study examined the effects of messages on altering risky gambling behavior in college students. While playing a chance-based computerized game with play money, three groups of participants either viewed occasional accurate messages that ... Read more...
