Thinking of the future and past: the roles of the frontal pole and the medial temporal lobes.

Human lesion data have indicated that the frontal polar area might be critically involved in having an insight into ones future. Retrospective memory mediated by medial temporal lobes and related structures, on the other hand, could be used to extract ...

Conflict monitoring in the human anterior cingulate cortex during selective attention to global and local object features.

Parallel processing affords the brain many advantages, but processing multiple bits of information simultaneously presents formidable challenges. For example, while one is listening to a speaker at a noisy social gathering, processing irrelevant ...

A preferential increase in the extrastriate response to signals of danger.

This study examined neural responses in nine right-handed healthy individuals while they viewed mild and intense expressions of four emotions (fear, disgust, happiness, and sadness) contrasted with neutral faces in four event-related functional magnetic ...

Dynamic causal modelling.

In this paper we present an approach to the identification of nonlinear input-state-output systems. By using a bilinear approximation to the dynamics of interactions among states, the parameters of the implicit causal model reduce to three sets. These ...

Human precentral cortical activation patterns during saccade tasks: an fMRI comparison with activation during intentional eyeblink tasks.

Some fMRI studies in humans have located the frontal eye field (FEF) in two distinct regions along the precentral sulcus (PCS): one localized more medically, in the superior precentral sulcus (supPCR) at the junction with the superior frontal sulcus, and ...

Coherent interaction of dynamical attractors for object-based selective attention.

I investigate essential neuronal mechanisms of visual attention based on object-based theory and a biased-competition scheme. A neural network model is proposed that consists of two feature networks, FI and FII, and one object network, OJ. The FI and FII ...

Selective attention to facial emotion in physically abused children.

The ability to allocate attention to emotional cues in the environment is an important feature of adaptive self-regulation. Existing data suggest that physically abused children overattend to angry expressions, but the attentional mechanisms underlying ...

Basal ganglia and supplementary motor area subtend duration perception: an fMRI study.

Brain imaging studies on duration perception usually report the activation of a network that includes the frontal and mesiofrontal cortex (supplementary motor area, SMA), parietal cortex, and subcortical areas (basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum). ...

Predicting language outcome in infants with autism and pervasive developmental disorder.

BACKGROUND: To examine longitudinal associations between diagnosis, joint attention, play and imitation abilities and language outcome in infants with autism and pervasive developmental disorder. METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Experimental measures of joint ...

Paediatric dentistry in the new millennium: 2. Behaviour management--helping children to accept dentistry.

Childrens dentistry can be a challenge for both the patient and the dentist. The way a dentist interacts with the child patient will have a major influence on the success of any clinical or preventive care. In order to deliver high-quality dentistry to a ...
