Cortical activation evoked by visual mental imagery as measured by fMRI.
One of the major controversies in cognitive neuroscience is whether the primary visual cortex and nearby areas are involved in visual mental imagery. In an fMRI study we examined the brain activity of 10 healthy subjects under different task conditions: in the perception condition subjects saw complex geometrical shapes and had to decide whether other highlighted stimuli fell inside or outside ...
متن کاملEffect of acute hyperglycemia on visual cortical activation as measured by functional MRI.
To determine whether acute hyperglycemia changes the hyperemic response to functional activation of brain, the area and magnitude of the activation were measured in healthy volunteers maintained at euglycemia and then at hyperglycemia using the hyperglycemic clamp technique. Activation of the visual cortex (8-16 Hz) was assessed by functional MRI with blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) co...
متن کاملModulation of Visual Cortical Excitability by Working Memory: Effect of Luminance Contrast of Mental Imagery
Although much is known about the impact of stimulus properties such as luminance contrast, spatial frequency, and orientation on visually evoked neural activity, much less is known about how they modulate neural activity when they are properties of a mental image held in working memory (WM). Here we addressed this question by investigating how a parametric manipulation of an imagined stimulus a...
متن کاملEndogenous sequential cortical activity evoked by visual stimuli.
Although the functional properties of individual neurons in primary visual cortex have been studied intensely, little is known about how neuronal groups could encode changing visual stimuli using temporal activity patterns. To explore this, we used in vivo two-photon calcium imaging to record the activity of neuronal populations in primary visual cortex of awake mice in the presence and absence...
متن کاملSustained extrastriate cortical activation without visual awareness revealed by fMRI studies of hemianopic patients
Patients with lesions in the primary visual cortex (V1) may show processing of visual stimuli presented in their field of cortical blindness even when they report being unaware of the stimuli. To elucidate the neuroanatomical basis of their residual visual functions, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging in two hemianopic patients, FS and GY. In the first experiment, a rotating spiral s...
