Relationship between neural responses and visual grouping in the monkey parietal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 Visual grouping through the binding of multiple discrete elements is an important component of object perception, and neurological studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in that process. To study the neural ... Read more...

Temporal order processing of syllables in the left parietal lobe.

5 Oct 2009 Speech processing requires the temporal parsing of syllable order. Individuals suffering from posterior left hemisphere brain injury often exhibit temporal processing deficits as well as language deficits. Although the right posterior inferior ... Read more...

Anatomical segregation of representations of personally familiar and famous people in the temporal and parietal cortices.

29 Sep 2009 Person recognition has been assumed to entail many types of person-specific cognitive responses, including retrieval of knowledge, episodic recollection, and emotional responses. To demonstrate the cortical correlates of this modular structure of ... Read more...
