Single-Neuron Correlates of Conscious Perception in the Human Medial Temporal Lobe.
The neuronal mechanisms giving rise to conscious perception remain largely elusive [1]. It is known that the strength of single-neuron activity correlates with conscious perception, especially in anterior regions of the ventral pathway in non-human primates [2-4] and in the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) [5, 6]. It is unclear, however, whether single-neuron correlates of conscious perception ...
متن کاملHuman single-neuron responses at the threshold of conscious recognition.
We studied the responses of single neurons in the human medial temporal lobe while subjects viewed familiar faces, animals, and landmarks. By progressively shortening the duration of stimulus presentation, coupled with backward masking, we show two striking properties of these neurons. (i) Their responses are not statistically different for the 33-ms, 66-ms, and 132-ms stimulus durations, and o...
متن کاملHuman Temporal Cortical Single Neuron Activity during Language: A Review
Findings from recordings of human temporal cortical single neuron activity during several measures of language, including object naming and word reading are reviewed and related to changes in activity in the same neurons during recent verbal memory and verbal associative learning measures, in studies conducted during awake neurosurgery for the treatment of epilepsy. The proportion of neurons ch...
متن کاملIdeal observer of single neuron activity
We )nd that adding certain amounts of inhibitory inputs to a neuron improves its capability of accurately decoding the input information. The optimal ratio r of inhibitory to excitatory inputs for decoding the input information from an observation of the e,erent interspike intervals is calculated. Surprisingly, the Fisher information could be zero for certain values of the ratio, seemingly impl...
متن کاملSense and the single neuron: probing the physiology of perception.
The newly defined field of cognitive neuroscience attempts to draw together the study of all brain mechanisms that underlie our mental life. Historically, the major sensory pathways have provided the most trustworthy insights into how the brain supports cognitive functions such as perception, attention, and short-term memory. The links between neural activity and perception, in particular, have...
