Peripheral Attentional Targets under Covert Attention Lead to Paradoxically Enhanced Alpha Desynchronization in Neurofibromatosis Type 1
The limited capacity of the human brain to process the full extent of visual information reaching the visual cortex requires the recruitment of mechanisms of information selection through attention. Neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF1) is a neurodevelopmental disease often exhibiting attentional deficits and learning disabilities, and is considered to model similar impairments common in other neurode...
متن کاملFearful, but not angry, expressions diffuse attention to peripheral targets in an attentional blink paradigm.
We previously demonstrated that fearful facial expressions implicitly facilitate memory for contextual events whereas angry facial expressions do not. The current study sought to more directly address the implicit effect of fearful expressions on attention for contextual events within a classic attentional paradigm (i.e., the attentional blink) in which memory is tested on a trial-by-trial basi...
متن کاملA neuropsychological perspective on attention problems in neurofibromatosis type 1.
Cognitive problems are common in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 and they can often complicate treatment. The current literature review examines cognitive functioning in neurofibromatosis type 1, with a specific focus on executive functioning. This includes exploration of how deficits in executive functioning are expressed in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 and how these deficits ...
متن کاملGreater attentional blink magnitude is associated with higher levels of anticipatory attention as measured by alpha event-related desynchronization (ERD).
Accuracy for a second target (T2) is reduced when it is presented within 500 ms of a first target (T1) in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP)-an attentional blink (AB). Reducing the amount of attentional investment with an additional task or instructing the use of a more relaxed cognitive approach has been found to reduce the magnitude of the AB. As well, personality and affective traits,...
متن کاملPseudoarthrosis in neurofibromatosis type-1.
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is the most common neurocutaneous disease. The clinical manifestations are diverse. Some of the skeletal changes are most relevant to the patient. We report on 9 patients with NF1 who presented with typical pseudarthrosis. In 8 of these children the lower extremity was involved. In 2 cases lesions of both tibia and fibula were found, in one case even over long seg...
