How do we select high-quality oocytes?
In vitro maturation (IVM) is being increasingly used to treat human infertility, especially as rescue therapy for patients of polycystic ovarian syndrome and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Quality control and the determination of optimal fertilization conditions—important to increase the use of IVM oocytes for embryo production and improve pregnancy success rates—require a detailed understa...
متن کاملImplications of Robot Actions for Human Perception. How Do We Represent Actions of the Observed Robots?
Social robotics aims at developing robots that are to assist humans in their daily lives. To achieve this aim, robots must act in a comprehensible and intuitive manner for humans. That is, humans should be able to cognitively represent robot actions easily, in terms of action goals and means to achieve them. This yields a question of how actions are represented in general. Based on ideomotor th...
متن کاملHow do we predict the consequences of our actions? A functional imaging study.
Humans are readily able to distinguish expected and unexpected sensory events. Whether a single mechanism underlies this ability is unknown. The most common type of expected sensory events are those generated as a consequence of self-generated actions. Using H2 15O PET, we studied brain responses to such predictable sensory events (tones) and to similar unpredictable events and especially how t...
متن کاملAcupuncture and brain imaging: what do we have to consider?
Advances in functional neuroimaging techniques have made it possible to study both the neuroanatomical and neurophysiological responses associated with acupuncture. An impressive body of literature has identified a distributed network of brain activity that is evoked by stimulation with acupuncture needles and is subject to considerable modulation by a variety of stimulus parameters, contextual...
متن کاملHow we use rules to select actions: a review of evidence from cognitive neuroscience.
Much of our behavior is guided by rules, or prescribed guides for action. In this review, I consider the current state of knowledge of how rules are learned, stored in the brain, and retrieved and used as the need arises. The focus is primarily on studies in humans, but the review is informed by relevant studies in nonhuman primates. Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) has been implicated i...
