Previous research has demonstrated that higher-order cognitive processes associated with the allocation of selective attention are engaged when highly familiar self-relevant items are encountered, such as one's name, face, personal possessions and the like. The goal of our study was to determine whether these effects on attentional processing are triggered on-line at the moment self-relevance i...

متن کاملMine and Me: Exploring the Neural Basis of Object Ownership
Previous research has shown that encoding information in the context of self-evaluation leads to memory enhancement, supported by activation in ventromedial pFC. Recent evidence suggests that similar self-memory advantages can be obtained under nonevaluative encoding conditions, such as when object ownership is used to evoke self-reference. Using fMRI, the current study explored the neural corr...
متن کاملWhen inappropriate becomes beneficial.
We report the case of a young man who accidentally received a prolonged electric discharge from electrical wires and released the electric source with the help of an inappropriate shock from his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), after misinterpretation of the electrical signal by the device as a ventricular tachycardia. This case illustrates the "electrical noise" phenomenon, and un...
متن کاملWhen ABC becomes ACB.
Understanding how the information contained in genes is mapped onto the phenotypes, and deriving formal frameworks to search for generic aspects of developmental constraints and evolution remains one of the main challenges of contemporary biological research. The Mexican endemic triurid Lacandonia schismatica (Lacandoniaceae), a mycoheterotrophic monocotyledonous plant with hermaphroditic repro...
