Focal cortical thickness correlates of exceptional memory training in Vedic priests
The capacity for semantic memory-the ability to acquire and store knowledge of the world-is highly developed in the human brain. In particular, semantic memory assimilated through an auditory route may be a uniquely human capacity. One method of obtaining neurobiological insight into memory mechanisms is through the study of experts. In this work, we study a group of Hindu Vedic priests, whose ...
متن کاملEffects of memory training on cortical thickness in the elderly
The brain's ability to alter its functional and structural architecture in response to experience and learning has been extensively studied. Mental stimulation might serve as a reserve mechanism in brain aging, but macrostructural brain changes in response to cognitive training have been demonstrated in young participants only. We examined the short-term effects of an intensive memory training ...
متن کاملCortical thickness increases after simultaneous interpretation training.
Simultaneous interpretation is a complex cognitive task that not only demands multilingual language processing, but also requires application of extreme levels of domain-general cognitive control. We used MRI to longitudinally measure cortical thickness in simultaneous interpretation trainees before and after a Master's program in conference interpreting. We compared them to multilingual contro...
متن کاملLongitudinal data on cortical thickness before and after working memory training.
The data and supplementary information provided in this article relate to our research article "Task complexity and location specific changes of cortical thickness in executive and salience networks after working memory training" (Metzler-Baddeley et al., 2016) [1]. We provide cortical thickness and subcortical volume data derived from parieto-frontal cortical regions and the basal ganglia with...
متن کاملMeasuring Cortical Thickness in Brain MRI Volumes to Detect Focal Cortical Dysplasia
Nowadays the prevalence of epilepsy is estimated to be around 1% of the population where up to 40% of the patients continue to have seizures despite optimal drug treatment [1]. In patients with drug refractory epilepsy, approximately one-half suffer from localized malformation of cortical development known as focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). There, the epilepsy surgery can yield a high chance of...
