Modulation of olfactory perception by visual cortex stimulation.
When attempting to identify an object based on smell alone, people often visualize the perceived source of the odorant. This close association between olfactory and visual functions is supported by neuroimaging studies demonstrating activation of visual cortex during performance of purely olfactory tasks. Such activation might simply reflect the correlation between olfactory percepts and the co...
متن کاملNostril-specific olfactory modulation of visual perception in binocular rivalry.
It is known that olfaction and vision can work in tandem to represent object identities. What is yet unclear is the stage of the sensory processing hierarchy at which the two types of inputs converge. Here we study this issue through a well established visual phenomenon termed binocular rivalry. We show that smelling an odor from one nostril significantly enhances the dominance time of the cong...
متن کاملModulation of Drug Craving in Crystalline-Heroin Users by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Background: Drug craving, the main cause of relapse and a major motivator for drug use, is a challenging obstacle in substance use treatment. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, has shown promising outcomes in treating different neuropsychiatric disorders such as drug addiction, more specifically on drug craving. The aim in the current study...
متن کاملDifferential inhibition of chromatic and achromatic perception by transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human visual cortex.
The magnocellular visual pathway is devoted to low-contrast achromatic and motion perception whereas the parvocellular pathway deals with chromatic and high resolution spatial vision. To specifically separate perception mediated by these pathways we have used low-contrast Gaussian filtered black-white or coloured visual stimuli. By use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the visual ...
متن کاملModulation of Visual Cortex Excitability by Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation Depends on Coil Type
Subthreshold continuous theta burst stimulation of the visual cortex has been reported to cause inhibitory effects on phosphene threshold. In contrast, we observed no inhibition in a former study applying higher stimulation intensities. The main discrepancies between our experiments and the former studies were stimulation intensity and coil type. We aimed at investigating the role of these fact...
