Voxel-based morphometry reveals increased gray matter density in Brocas area in male symphony orchestra musicians.

Brocas area is a major neuroanatomical substrate for spoken language and various musically relevant abilities, including visuospatial and audiospatial localization. Sight reading is a musician-specific visuospatial analysis task, and spatial ability is ...

Mechanisms of source confusion and discounting in short-term priming 2: effects of prime similarity and target duration.

D. E. Huber, R. M. Shiffrin, K. B. Lyle, and K. I. Ruys (2001) tested two-alternative, forced-choice (2-AFC) perceptual identification in a short-term priming task. For repetition priming, passive viewing of primes resulted in a preference to choose ...

Syntactic processing modulates the theta rhythm of the human EEG.

Changes in oscillatory brain dynamics can be studied by means of induced band power (IBP) analyses, which quantify event-related changes in amplitude of frequency-specific EEG rhythms. Such analyses capture EEG phenomena that are not part of traditional ...

Effective connectivity and intersubject variability: using a multisubject network to test differences and commonalities.

This article is about intersubject variability in the functional integration of activity in different brain regions. Previous studies of functional and effective connectivity have dealt with intersubject variability by analyzing data from different ...

Electrophysiological insights into language processing in schizophrenia.

Deficits in language comprehension in schizophrenia were examined using event-related potentials (ERPs). Schizophrenic and healthy participants read sentences in which the first clause ended with a homograph, and the second clause started with a target ...

Human brain language processing areas identified by functional magnetic resonance imaging using a lexical decision task.

The purpose of this study was to validate a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm to activate both anterior and posterior language areas while collecting accuracy and reaction time data on subjects performance. The paradigm was based on ...

The auditory C-process of spectral profile analysis.

OBJECTIVES: We here review the findings of several experiments, aimed at clarifying the functional role of the human auditory cortex in the processing of complex sound mixtures.METHODS: Long-latency auditory evoked potentials were recorded to abrupt ...

Reading habits of practicing physiatrists.

OBJECTIVE: Over the past 30 yr, the number of ACGME accredited specialties has quadrupled, and the number of journals cataloged on MEDLINE has doubled. Given this increase of information, this study sought to determine the amount and extent that ...

Neural correlates for the acquisition of natural language syntax.

Some types of simple and logically possible syntactic rule never occur in human language grammars, leading to a distinction between grammatical and nongrammatical syntactic rules. Comparison of the neuroanatomical correlates underlying the acquisition of ...

Electroencephalographic activity in a flanker interference task using Japanese orthography.

The neural activities for color word interference effects were investigated using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) recorded in a flanker-type interference task. Kanji words (Japanese morphograms) and kana words (Japanese phonograms) were used as the ...
