Neural basis of mathematical cognition
The human brain has remarkable capabilities for encoding and manipulating information about quantities. Understanding how the brain carries out such number and quantity processing is a problem not just for those interested in numerical cognition: it raises important questions that are relevant to understanding development, action, vision, language, executive function and cortical organisation. ...
متن کاملNeurocase: The Neural Basis of Cognition
Pervasive developmental disorder is characterized by various symptoms that often include self-injurious behavior (SIB). Episodes of SIB occur in the context of high emotional arousal, anger, or fear and may be related to epilepsy. We report the case of a 20-year-old man with pervasive developmental disorder presenting with SIB non-responsive to antipsychotic medication. Positron emission tomogr...
متن کاملGenetic influences on the neural basis of social cognition.
The neural basis of social cognition has been the subject of intensive research in both human and non-human primates. Exciting, provocative and yet consistent findings are emerging. A major focus of interest is the role of efferent and afferent connectivity between the amygdala and the neocortical brain regions, now believed to be critical for the processing of social and emotional perceptions....
متن کاملThe Neural Basis for Spatial Relations
Studies in semantics traditionally focus on knowledge of objects. By contrast, less is known about how objects relate to each other. In an fMRI study, we tested the hypothesis that the neural processing of categorical spatial relations between objects is distinct from the processing of the identity of objects. Attending to the categorical spatial relations compared with attending to the identit...
متن کاملSemantic Cognition: Its Nature, its Development and its Neural Basis
Interest in the nature of conceptual knowledge extends back at least to the ancient Greek philosophers. In recent years, there has been a wide range of different approaches to understanding the nature of conceptual knowledge, its development, and its neural basis. In most other work, however, these issues are not all treated together. Instead, workers in philosophy, adult experimental psycholog...
