Parahippocampal cortex is involved in material processing via echoes in blind echolocation experts
Some blind humans use sound to navigate by emitting mouth-clicks and listening to the echoes that reflect from silent objects and surfaces in their surroundings. These echoes contain information about the size, shape, location, and material properties of objects. Here we present results from an fMRI experiment that investigated the neural activity underlying the processing of materials through ...
متن کاملNeural correlates of motion processing through echolocation, source hearing, and vision in blind echolocation experts and sighted echolocation novices.
We have shown in previous research (Thaler L, Arnott SR, Goodale MA. PLoS One 6: e20162, 2011) that motion processing through echolocation activates temporal-occipital cortex in blind echolocation experts. Here we investigated how neural substrates of echo-motion are related to neural substrates of auditory source-motion and visual-motion. Three blind echolocation experts and twelve sighted ech...
متن کاملNeural Correlates of Natural Human Echolocation in Early and Late Blind Echolocation Experts
BACKGROUND A small number of blind people are adept at echolocating silent objects simply by producing mouth clicks and listening to the returning echoes. Yet the neural architecture underlying this type of aid-free human echolocation has not been investigated. To tackle this question, we recruited echolocation experts, one early- and one late-blind, and measured functional brain activity in ea...

in their length can quantitatively explain the dynamic range of all helical and non-helical cell geometries. The purified, detergent insoluble cytoskeleton complex from spiroplasmas contains over ten proteins, the main one being a 59 kDa product of the fib gene with no known prokaryotic or eukaryotic homologs. Infectivity in spiroplasmas is governed by an unusual lipoprotein, spiralin, which co...
