The anterior insular cortex represents breaches of taste identity expectation.
Despite the importance of breaches of taste identity expectation for survival, its neural correlate is unknown. We used fMRI in 16 women to examine brain response to expected and unexpected receipt of sweet taste and tasteless/odorless solutions. During expected trials (70%), subjects heard "sweet" or "tasteless" and received the liquid indicated by the cue. During unexpected trials (30%), subj...
متن کاملHigher level visual cortex represents retinotopic, not spatiotopic, object location.
The crux of vision is to identify objects and determine their locations in the environment. Although initial visual representations are necessarily retinotopic (eye centered), interaction with the real world requires spatiotopic (absolute) location information. We asked whether higher level human visual cortex-important for stable object recognition and action-contains information about retinot...
متن کاملDifferential connectivity within the Parahippocampal Place Area
The Parahippocampal Place Area (PPA) has traditionally been considered a homogeneous region of interest, but recent evidence from both human studies and animal models has suggested that PPA may be composed of functionally distinct subunits. To investigate this hypothesis, we utilize a functional connectivity measure for fMRI that can estimate connectivity differences at the voxel level. Applyin...
متن کاملJust-in-time landmarks recognition
H uman beings act mysteriously well on object recognition tasks; they perceive images by sensors and convey information that is processed in parallel in the brain. To some extent, massively parallel computers offer a natural support for similar tasks, since the detection of an object in a scene can be performed by repeating the same operations in different zones of the scene. Unfortunately, mos...
متن کاملPosterior parahippocampal place learning in H.M.
In a previous experiment with patients who had undergone unilateral temporal thermocoagulation lesions to alleviate intractable epilepsy, we demonstrated that the right parahippocampal cortex was critical for the performance of a spatial memory task (Bohbot et al. (1998) Neuropsychologia 36:1217-1238). Based on this evidence, we predicted that H.M., whose caudal parahippocampal cortex was struc...
