The Role of Transverse Occipital Sulcus in Scene Perception and Its Relationship to Object Individuation in Inferior Intraparietal Sulcus
10-05-2013 | Katherine C. Bettencourt; Yaoda Xu, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
The parietal cortex has been functionally divided into various subregions; however, very little is known about how these areas relate to each other. Two such regions are the transverse occipital sulcus (TOS) scene area and inferior intraparietal sulcus (IPS). TOS exhibits similar activation ...
Objects and Categories: Feature Statistics and Object Processing in the Ventral Stream
10-05-2013 | Lorraine K. Tyler; Shannon Chiu; Jie Zhuang; Billi Randall; Barry J. Devereux; Paul Wright; Alex Clarke; Kirs ..., Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Recognizing an object involves more than just visual analyses; its meaning must also be decoded. Extensive research has shown that processing the visual properties of objects relies on a hierarchically organized stream in ventral occipitotemporal cortex, with increasingly more complex visual ...
Neurobiological Systems for Lexical Representation and Analysis in English
10-05-2013 | Mirjana Bozic; Lorraine K. Tyler; Li Su; Cai Wingfield; William D. Marslen-Wilson, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Current research suggests that language comprehension engages two joint but functionally distinguishable neurobiological processes: a distributed bilateral system, which supports general perceptual and interpretative processes underpinning speech comprehension, and a left hemisphere (LH) ...
Top–Down Inhibitory Control Exerted by the Medial Frontal Cortex during Action Selection under Conflict
10-05-2013 | Julie Duque; Etienne Olivier; Matthew Rushworth, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Top–down control is critical to select goal-directed actions in changeable environments, particularly when several conflicting options compete for selection. In humans, this control system is thought to involve an inhibitory mechanism that suppresses the motor representation of unwanted ...
Unconscious Priming Requires Early Visual Cortex at Specific Temporal Phases of Processing
10-05-2013 | Marjan Persuh; Tony Ro, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Although examples of unconscious shape priming have been well documented, whether such priming requires early visual cortex (V1/V2) has not been established. In the current study, we used TMS of V1/V2 at varying temporal intervals to suppress the visibility of preceding shape primes while the ...
High Proficiency in a Second Language is Characterized by Greater Involvement of the First Language Network: Evidence from Chinese Learners of English
09-05-2013 | Fan Cao; Ran Tao; Li Liu; Charles A. Perfetti; James R. Booth, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
The assimilation hypothesis argues that second language learning recruits the brain network for processing the native language, whereas the accommodation hypothesis argues that learning a second language recruits brain structures not involved in native language processing. This study tested ...
Tool Selectivity in Left Occipitotemporal Cortex Develops without Vision
06-05-2013 | Marius V. Peelen; Stefania Bracci; Xueming Lu; Chenxi He; Alfonso Caramazza; Yanchao Bi, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Previous studies have provided evidence for a tool-selective region in left lateral occipitotemporal cortex (LOTC). This region responds selectively to pictures of tools and to characteristic visual tool motion. The present human fMRI study tested whether visual experience is required for the ...
Perceptual Demand Modulates Activation of Human Auditory Cortex in Response to Task-irrelevant Sounds
06-05-2013 | Merav Sabri; Colin Humphries; Matthew Verber; Jain Mangalathu; Anjali Desai; Jeffrey R. Binder; Einat Liebenthal, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
In the visual modality, perceptual demands on a goal-directed task have been shown to modulate the extent to which irrelevant information can be disregarded at a sensory-perceptual stage of processing. In the auditory modality, the effect of perceptual demand on neural representations of ...
Different Synchronization Rules in Primary and Nonprimary Auditory Cortex of Monkeys
06-05-2013 | Michael Brosch; Eike Budinger; Henning Scheich, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
Synchronized neuronal firing in cortex has been implicated in feature binding, attentional selection, and other cognitive processes. This study addressed the question whether different cortical fields are distinct by rules according to which neurons engage in synchronous firing. To this end, ...
Interhemispheric Communication Influences Reading Behavior
06-05-2013 | Lise Van der Haegen; Qing Cai; Michaël A. Stevens; Marc Brysbaert, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2013
We can read words at an amazing speed, with the left hemisphere taking the burden of the processing in most readers (i.e., over 95% of right-handers and about 75% of left-handers). Yet, it is a long-standing question whether word reading in central vision is possible without information ...
