Cognitive strategies dependent on the hippocampus and caudate nucleus in human navigation: variability and change with practice.

The human brain activity related to strategies for navigating in space and how it changes with practice was investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Subjects used two different strategies to solve a place-learning task in a ...

Sex differences in episodic memory: minimal influence of estradiol.

Sex differences exist for several cognitive tasks and estrogen has been suggested to influence these differences. Eighteen men and 18 women were matched on age and estradiol level. Potential sex differences were assessed in episodic memory, semantic ...

The myth of the visual word form area.

Recent functional imaging studies have referred to a posterior region of the left midfusiform gyrus as the "visual word form area" (VWFA). We review the evidence for this claim and argue that neither the neuropsychological nor neuroimaging data are ...

Changing plans: a high density electrical mapping study of cortical control.

High density electrical mapping was used to index event-related brain activity in subjects performing parametric variations of the "AX"-type continuous performance task (AX-CPT) that differentially challenge control, and informative control conditions. ...

Sex differences in brain activation pattern during a visuospatial cognitive task: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study in healthy volunteers.

Sex differences in mental rotation tasks, favoring men, have been noted in behavioral studies and functional imaging studies. In the present study ten female and ten male volunteers underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging in a conventional block ...

Early and persistent alterations in prefrontal cortex MAO A and B in Alzheimers disease.

Both monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and MAO B in the brain have been implicated in the etiology of Alzheimers disease. MAO B is elevated in plaque-associated glia in Alzheimer brain. Elevations in MAO A in Alzheimer neurons have been linked to increases in ...

[3H]GR113808 binding to serotonin 5-HT(4) receptors in the postmortem neocortex of Alzheimer disease: a clinicopathological study.

Abnormalities in neural transmission of serotonin (5-HT) may play a role in both cognitive and neuropsychiatric features of Alzheimer disease (AD). We measured 5-HT(4) receptors in the postmortem frontal and temporal cortex of 34 AD subjects and 15 ...

Reasoning about a hidden object after a delay: evidence for robust representations in 5-month-old infants.

The present research examined two alternative interpretations of violation-of-expectation findings that young infants can represent hidden objects. One interpretation is that, when watching an event in which an object becomes hidden behind another ...
