Direct and Indirect Timing Functions in Unilateral Hemispheric Lesions
Introduction: The neural substrates of temporal processing are not still fully known. The majority of interval timing studies have dealt with this subject in the context of “Explicit timing” (computing the time intervals explicitly). The hypothesis “Implicit timing” (implicitly using temporal processing to improve function) has also proposed. This lesion study addressed explicit and implicit ti...
متن کاملHemispheric, and Environmental Factors
This quantitative Golgi study extends our investigation of relationships between cortical dendrite systems in humans and higher cognitive functions. Here we examine the relationship between the basilar dendrites of supragranular pyramidal cells in Wernicke's area and selected intrinsic (i.e., gender and hemisphere) and extrinsic (i.e., education and personal history) variables. Tissue was obtai...
متن کاملBanishing the control homunculi in studies of action control and behaviour change
For centuries, human self-control has fascinated scientists and nonscientists alike. Current theories often attribute it to an executive control system. But even though executive control receives a great deal of attention across disciplines, most aspects of it are still poorly understood. Many theories rely on an ill-defined set of ‘homunculi’ doing jobs like 'response inhibition' or ‘updating’...
متن کاملHemispheric lateralization in reasoning.
A growing body of evidence suggests that reasoning in humans relies on a number of related processes whose neural loci are largely lateralized to one hemisphere or the other. A recent review of this evidence concluded that the patterns of lateralization observed are organized according to two complementary tendencies. The left hemisphere attempts to reduce uncertainty by drawing inferences or c...
متن کاملIschemic Hemispheric Stroke
Background and Purpose A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter trial was conducted to test the hypothesis that nimodipine would improve the functional outcome in acute ischemic hemispheric stroke. Methods A total of 350 patients were randomized to nimodipine 120 mg/d PO or matching placebo for 21 days. Randomization was stratified by onset of therapy, age, and stroke severity...
