The cognitive neuroscience

چکیده
We outline a framework of multilevel neurocognitive mechanisms that 1 incorporates representation and computation.We argue that paradigmatic explanations 2 in cognitive neuroscience fit this framework and thus that cognitive neuroscience con3 stitutes a revolutionary break from traditional cognitive science. Whereas traditional 4 cognitive scientific explanations were supposed to be distinct and autonomous from 5 mechanistic explanations, neurocognitive explanations aim to be mechanistic through 6 and through. Neurocognitive explanations aim to integrate computational and repre7 sentational functions and structures across multiple levels of organization in order to 8 explain cognition. To a large extent, practicing cognitive neuroscientists have already 9 accepted this shift, but philosophical theory has not fully acknowledged and appre10 ciated its significance. As a result, the explanatory framework underlying cognitive 11 neuroscience has remained largely implicit. We explicate this framework and demon12 strate its contrast with previous approaches. 13

متن کاملDT-MRI Tractography and its Application in Cognitive Neuroscience
Recent advancement of MRI techniques and development of new methods of image analysis have allowed us to study large neural tracts within the human brain. This is based on the principle of diffusion tensor MRI that is similar to that of diffusion-weighted imaging but takes magnitude and direction of the diffusion of water into account. Using this technique we have been able to define large neur...
متن کاملIschemic Postconditioning Attenuates Bilateral Renal Ischemia-Induced Cognitive Impairments
Background and aim: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of kidney failure with high mortality which leads to brain dysfunction. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effect of ischemic postconditioning (IPo) against brain dysfunction induced by bilateral renal ischemia (BRI). Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats underwent BRI, sham or IPo surgery ...
متن کاملSubliminal Priming in Subtracting One-Digit Arabic Numbers
Background: Based on the studies which have investigated conscious and unconscious processes, simple arithmetic operations such as addition and multiplication can be automatically processed in the brain and affect subsequent responses. However, most studies have focused on addition and multiplication of one-digit numbers. In this research we used subliminal priming paradigm to assess automatic ...
