Spatial recognition in cats: effects of parahippocampal lesions.

19 Jul 2009 The role of the posterior parahippocampal area of the brain in spatial types of memory in conditions of one-trial visual perception of the positions of objects was studied by training eight cats to remember the spatial positions of either two ... Read more...

Diffusion tensor imaging of the posterior cingulate is a useful biomarker of mild cognitive impairment.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is recognized as a predementia state, but its definition is inconsistent and only 20%-30% develop dementia after 2 years. Biomarkers may help identify individuals at greatest risk of progressive decline. ... Read more...

A comparison of brain activity evoked by single content and function words: an fMRI investigation of implicit word processing.

20 May 2009 Content and function words have different roles in language and differ greatly in their semantic content. Although previous research has suggested that these different roles may be mediated by different neural substrates, the neuroimaging literature ... Read more...
