Hemispheric specialization in prefrontal cortex: effects of verbalizability, imageability and meaning
What determines the hemispheric laterality of information processing in the human prefrontal cortex (PFC)? Functional neuroimaging studies of declarative memory have explored two proposals: process-specificity and material-specificity. Early studies reported left-lateralized activation in prefrontal regions during memory encoding but right-lateralized activation during memory retrieval, for bot...
متن کاملHemispheric specialization in human prefrontal cortex for resolving certain and uncertain inferences.
Uncertainty is a fact of life that must be accommodated in real-world decision making. Although it has been suggested that the right prefrontal cortex (PFC) has a special role to play in decision making under uncertainty, there is very little hard data to support this hypothesis. To better understand the roles of left and right PFCs in reasoning and decision making in situations with complete a...
متن کاملHemispheric specialization of the lateral prefrontal cortex for strategic processing during spatial and shape working memory.
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether spatial working memory (WM) is associated with functional specialization of the right prefrontal cortex (PFC) relative to WM for shapes. We designed spatial and shape WM tasks that are relatively easy to perform and that minimize both task-switching and manipulation demands. The tasks use identical stimuli and require the same motor response. METHODS We prese...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex hemispheric specialization for categorical and coordinate visual spatial memory.
During visual spatial perception of multiple items, the left hemisphere has been shown to preferentially process categorical spatial relationships while the right hemisphere has been shown to preferentially process coordinate spatial relationships. We hypothesized that this hemispheric processing distinction would be reflected in the prefrontal cortex during categorical and coordinate visual sp...
متن کاملHuman primary motor cortex shows hemispheric specialization for speech.
Hemispheric specialization is a prominent characteristic of the human brain. Should the 'dominant' hemisphere possess differential neural organization for language production in the 'higher order' cortex, it would be rational to consider that the primary motor cortex may also show similar hemispheric specialization for speech production. In order to test this hypothesis, we investigated the spa...
