Neonatal whisker trimming causes long-lasting changes in structure and function of the somatosensory system.

16 Jul 2009 The significance of very early experience in the maturation of whisker-to-barrel system comes primarily from neonatal whisker or infraorbital nerve lesion studies conducted prior to the formation of cortical barrels. However, the surgical procedures ...

Perceptual inhibition is associated with sensory integration in standing postural control among older adults.

15 Jul 2009 In older adults, maintaining balance and processing information typically interfere with each other, suggesting that executive functions may be engaged for both. We investigated associations between measures of inhibitory processes and standing ...

Intracranial electroencephalography reveals two distinct similarity effects during item recognition.

14 Jul 2009 Behavioral studies of visual recognition memory indicate that old/new decisions reflect both the similarity of the probe to the studied items (probe-item similarity) and the similarities among the studied items themselves (list homogeneity). ...

Working memory in children with epilepsy: an event-related potentials study.

14 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to find out whether children with idiopathic epilepsy did show different cortical activation patterns compared to non-epileptic children during performance of a working memory task. To this end event-related ...

The ups and downs (and lefts and rights) of synaesthetic number forms: validation from spatial cueing and SNARC-type tasks.

14 Jul 2009 Typically, numbers are spatially represented using a mental 'number line' running from left to right. Individuals with number-form synaesthesia experience numbers as occupying specific spatial coordinates that are much more complex than a typical ...

The boundaries of language and thought in deductive inference.

14 Jul 2009 Is human thought fully embedded in language, or do some forms of thought operate independently? To directly address this issue, we focus on inference-making, a central feature of human cognition. In a 3T fMRI study we compare logical inferences ...

Anticipating intentional actions: the effect of eye gaze direction on the judgment of head rotation.

14 Jul 2009 Using a representational momentum paradigm, this study investigated the hypothesis that judgments of how far another agent's head has rotated are influenced by the perceived gaze direction of the head. Participants observed a video-clip of a face ...

Training improves multitasking performance by increasing the speed of information processing in human prefrontal cortex.

14 Jul 2009 Our ability to multitask is severely limited: task performance deteriorates when we attempt to undertake two or more tasks simultaneously. Remarkably, extensive training can greatly reduce such multitasking costs. While it is not known how training ...

Cognitive function in Japanese centenarians according to the Mini-Mental State Examination.

13 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND/AIMS: We examined the effect of aging on cognitive function at the limit of human life expectancy by characterizing state of cognition in centenarians without clinical cognitive impairment. METHODS: Participants were 68 centenarians ...

Sustained attention in patients receiving and abstinent following methadone maintenance treatment for opiate dependence: performance and neuroimaging results.

13 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: Impairments in the function of attention exacerbate the course of opiate dependence and may play a role in the relapsing nature of the disorder. This study used clinical measures and positron emission tomography (PET) to assess the ...
