Delayed pattern discrimination in patients with unilateral temporal lobe damage.
Behavioral and neurophysiological studies in macaque monkeys suggest a role of the inferior temporal cortex in pattern discrimination and visual memory. To determine whether this cortical area is also involved in human short-term visual memory, we measured spatial frequency discrimination thresholds for sequentially presented stimuli in 17 patients with unilateral, postoperative focal damage to...
متن کاملSemantic memory is impaired in patients with unilateral anterior temporal lobe resection for temporal lobe epilepsy.
Contemporary clinical and basic neuroscience studies have increasingly implicated the anterior temporal lobe regions, bilaterally, in the formation of coherent concepts. Mounting convergent evidence for the importance of the anterior temporal lobe in semantic memory is found in patients with bilateral anterior temporal lobe damage (e.g. semantic dementia), functional neuroimaging and repetitive...
متن کاملThe orienting reflex in cats with experimental temporal lobe epilepsy.
Aluminum-induced temporal lobe epilepsy in 24 cats showed marked interictal intensification of somatic and EEG components of the orienting reaction and increase in their resistance to habituation. The greatest disturbances of the orienting response were noted in cases of bitemporal foci, of foci situated in the allocortex (hippocampus and amygdala) and of foci inducing generalized or generalize...
متن کاملReinstating the Novelty P3
P300 (or P3) is a major positive complex in the human event-related potential, occurring some 300 ms after stimulus onset, and long thought to be the cortical correlate of the Orienting Reflex, our automatic attention-grabbing response to a novel stimulus. The Novelty P3 was the third P3 subcomponent discovered (after P3a and P3b) and appeared promising in its sensitivity to stimulus novelty, t...
متن کاملThe Orienting Response in Healthy Aging: Novelty P3 Indicates No General Decline but Reduced Efficacy for Fast Stimulation Rates
Automatic orienting to unexpected changes in the environment is a pre-requisite for adaptive behavior. One prominent mechanism of automatic attentional control is the Orienting Response (OR). Despite the fundamental significance of the OR in everyday life, only little is known about how the OR is affected by healthy aging. We tested this question in two age groups (19-38 and 55-72 years) and me...
