Behavioral and Neural Correlates of Communication via Pointing
Communicative pointing is a human specific gesture which allows sharing information about a visual item with another person. It sets up a three-way relationship between a subject who points, an addressee and an object. Yet psychophysical and neuroimaging studies have focused on non-communicative pointing, which implies a two-way relationship between a subject and an object without the involveme...
متن کاملNeural and behavioral correlates of auditory categorization.
Goal-directed behavior is the essence of adaptation because it allows humans and other animals to respond dynamically to different environmental scenarios. Goal-directed behavior can be characterized as the formation of dynamic links between stimuli and actions. One important attribute of goal-directed behavior is that linkages can be formed based on how a stimulus is categorized. That is, link...
متن کاملNeural and behavioral correlates of intentional actions.
An essential characteristic of human behavior is the ability to act out of intrinsic motivation to achieve desired goals. These kinds of actions have been classed as intentional or voluntary. They contrast with actions that are performed in response to external stimuli. Recent research has begun to explore the functional underpinnings of internally guided actions and how they differ from extern...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Intentional Communication
We know a great deal about the neurophysiological mechanisms supporting instrumental actions, i.e., actions designed to alter the physical state of the environment. In contrast, little is known about our ability to select communicative actions, i.e., actions directly designed to modify the mental state of another agent. We have recently provided novel empirical evidence for a mechanism in which...
متن کاملCannabinoid addiction: behavioral models and neural correlates.
The use of cannabis sativa preparations as recreational drugs can be traced back to the earliest civilizations. However, animal models of cannabinoid addiction allowing the exploration of neural correlates of cannabinoid abuse have been developed only recently. We review these models and the role of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor, the main target of natural cannabinoids, and its interaction with ...
