When the Brain Loses Its Self: Prefrontal Inactivation during Sensorimotor Processing
A common theme in theories of subjective awareness poses a self-related "observer" function, or a homunculus, as a critical element without which awareness can not emerge. Here, we examined this question using fMRI. In our study, we compared brain activity patterns produced by a demanding sensory categorization paradigm to those engaged during self-reflective introspection, using similar sensor...
متن کاملBRAIN PROCESSING Cortical information flow during flexible sensorimotor decisions
During flexible behavior, multiple brain regions encode sensory inputs, the current task, and choices. It remains unclear how these signals evolve. We simultaneously recorded neuronal activity from six cortical regions [middle temporal area (MT), visual area four (V4), inferior temporal cortex (IT), lateral intraparietal area (LIP), prefrontal cortex (PFC), and frontal eye fields (FEF)] of monk...
متن کاملWhen intelligence loses its impact: neural efficiency during reasoning in a familiar area.
Several studies have revealed that persons with a lower IQ show more cortical activity when solving intelligence-related tasks than more intelligent persons do. Such results are interpreted in terms of neural efficiency: the more intelligent a person is, the fewer mental resources have to be activated. In an experiment with 31 experienced taxi drivers of varying IQs (measured by Raven's advance...
متن کاملEZH2 takes the stage when BRCA1 loses
www.landesbioscience.com Cell Cycle 3575 BRCA1 is a hereditary breast cancer susceptibility gene. BRCA1 germ-line mutation carriers have greatly increased lifetime risks for development of breast cancer. Strikingly, BRCA1 mutations are synonymous with incidence of basal-like breast cancer, with characteristic expression of basal cell markers, including cytokeratins (CKs) 5/6 and CK17. This uniq...
متن کاملVisuo-Motor Control: When the Brain Loses Track of the Eyes
In single-units studies, neuronal signals are recorded to assess their significance and, hopefully, their role in controlling behavior. A new study of neuronal signals associated with eye position helps to explain not only how the system normally works, but also how it sometimes fails.
