How number processing survives left occipito-temporal damage
We investigated the neural systems that support number processing in a patient (JL) who had damage to the left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (LvOT). JL had severely impaired written word recognition but he was remarkably accurate in number tasks, albeit slower than normal. This suggests LvOT activation is necessary for efficient but not for accurate number decisions. Here we investigated how...
متن کاملAutomatic Top-Down Processing Explains Common Left Occipito-Temporal Responses to Visual Words and Objects
Previous studies have demonstrated that a region in the left ventral occipito-temporal (LvOT) cortex is highly selective to the visual forms of written words and objects relative to closely matched visual stimuli. Here, we investigated why LvOT activation is not higher for reading than picture naming even though written words and pictures of objects have grossly different visual forms. To compa...
متن کاملReading without the left ventral occipito-temporal cortex
The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (LvOT) is thought to be essential for the rapid parallel letter processing that is required for skilled reading. Here we investigate whether rapid written word identification in skilled readers can be supported by neural pathways that do not involve LvOT. Hypotheses were derived from a stroke patient who acquired dyslexia following extensive LvOT damage...
متن کاملMemory: Topographical knowledge survives hippocampal damage
Thinking about the conflicting claims of rival theories of hippocampal function often reminds me of the old joke about two Edinburgh housewives who were always shouting at each other across the ‘close’ from their upper-floor tenement windows. They always disagreed, goes the joke, because they were arguing from different premises. Two theories of hippocampal function — the ‘declarative memory’ a...
متن کاملHow Salmonella Survives the Macrophage’s Acid Attack
Instead of combating the acidification of the host cell vacuole, Salmonella acidifies its own cytoplasm in response to the low extracellular pH, helping it to secrete effector molecules.
