Decision making in humans: the effect of manipulating the central noradrenergic system.

OBJECTIVES: Damasio has proposed an influential model of human decision making-the Somatic Marker Hypothesis (SMH), where he argues that somatic feedback to the brain influences decision making in humans. It is proposed that when choosing between options ...

Rostral anterior cingulate cortex dysfunction during error processing in schizophrenia.

Previous research has demonstrated that patients with schizophrenia have an impaired ability to monitor erroneous responses to stimuli internally. Event-related potential (ERP) studies of error-eliciting tasks indicate that, in healthy adults, the ...

Conversion of semantic information into phonological representation: a function in left posterior basal temporal area.

A unique feature of Japanese language is that its written sentences consist of both morphograms (kanji) and syllabograms (kana). Despite extensive research by PET, functional MRI and magnetoencephalography, the issues of the difference (or the ...

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy investigation of the right frontal lobe in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate neurometabolite concentrations in right prefrontal white matter in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and relations of neurometabolites with attention skill and frontal anatomy. METHOD: Single voxel ...

Effects of PCB exposure on neuropsychological function in children.

In the last decade advances in the analytic methods for quantification of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have resulted in widespread availability of congener-specific analysis procedures, and large amounts of data on PCB congener profiles in soil, air, ...

Development of computerized Kana Pick-out Test for the neuropsychological examination.

The Kana Pick-out Test, which was developed in Japan and done with paper and pencil, is said to be suitable for inspecting higher-order brain function and to be a good method for screening persons with mild or slight dementia. We have developed a ...

Theory of mind and the role of IQ in chronic disorganized schizophrenia.

BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested a theory of mind (ToM) deficit in schizophrenic disorders. However, the role of interfering variables such as IQ, attention, memory, and severity of the disorder has remained ambiguous. METHODS: A theory of mind ...

The effects of consecutive night shifts on neuropsychological performance of interns in the emergency department: a pilot study.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: We obtain preliminary information on the neuropsychological performance of house officers at the beginning and end of a shift while they worked consecutive night shifts in the emergency department. METHODS: We prospectively studied ...

A novel mutation (C67Y)in the NOTCH3 gene in a Korean CADASIL patient.

We report a 52-yr-old Korean woman with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) whose diagnosis was confirmed by skin biopsy and the presence of a novel mutation in the NOTCH3 gene. The ...

Cognitive correlates of medial temporal lobe development across adolescence: a magnetic resonance imaging study.

Adolescent development involves progressive changes in brain structure and cognitive function, but relatively few studies have documented the cognitive correlates of differences in structural brain volumes in this age group. We examined the relations ...
