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...

The medial temporal lobe and the left inferior prefrontal cortex jointly support interference resolution in verbal working memory.

29 Sep 2009 During working memory retrieval, proactive interference (PI) can be induced by semantic similarity and episodic familiarity. Here, we used fMRI to test hypotheses about the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and the medial temporal lobe ... Read more...

Functional specialization and convergence in the occipito-temporal cortex supporting haptic and visual identification of human faces and body parts: an fMRI study.

29 Sep 2009 Humans can recognize common objects by touch extremely well whenever vision is unavailable. Despite its importance to a thorough understanding of human object recognition, the neuroscientific study of this topic has been relatively neglected. To ... Read more...
