Computer-mouse tracking reveals TMS disruptions of prefrontal function during semantic retrieval.
Converging evidence from neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies is essential for understanding human frontal cortical function. We introduce a new method for studying the effects of transient disruptions of frontal activity during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Using a novel combination of TMS and computer-mouse tracking, through two experiments we tested process models of semant...

متن کاملSemantic retrieval, mnemonic control, and prefrontal cortex.
Accessing stored knowledge is a fundamental function of the cognitive and neural architectures of memory. Here, the authors review evidence from cognitive-behavioral paradigms, neuropsychological studies of patients with focal neural insult, and functional brain imaging concerning the mechanisms underlying retrieval of semantic knowledge and their association with prefrontal cortex. First, the ...
متن کاملAutomatic and Controlled Semantic Retrieval: TMS Reveals Distinct Contributions of Posterior Middle Temporal Gyrus and Angular Gyrus.
UNLABELLED Semantic retrieval involves both (1) automatic spreading activation between highly related concepts and (2) executive control processes that tailor this activation to suit the current context or goals. Two structures in left temporoparietal cortex, angular gyrus (AG) and posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG), are thought to be crucial to semantic retrieval and are often recruited to...
متن کاملSelective retrieval of abstract semantic knowledge in left prefrontal cortex.
Research into the representation and processing of conceptual knowledge has typically associated perceptual facts with sensory brain regions and executive retrieval mechanisms with the left prefrontal cortex. However, this dichotomy between knowledge content and retrieval processes leaves unanswered how the brain supports concepts less reliant on direct sensory experiences. We used neuroimaging...
