Brain oscillatory correlates of working memory constraints.

چکیده
It has been claimed that the coordination of neuronal oscillations differing in frequency is relevant for cognition. However, the validity of this claim has scarcely been investigated. Recent studies revealed that cross-frequency phase coupling and modulations of alpha-power dissociate between retention of relevant and suppression of irrelevant information in visual working memory (WM). We summarize these important results, and discuss possible implications for understanding the neural mechanisms of WM constraints.

Brain Oscillatory Correlates of Altered Executive Functioning in Positive and Negative Symptomatic Schizophrenia Patients and Healthy Controls
Working Memory and executive functioning deficits are core characteristics of patients suffering from schizophrenia. Electrophysiological research indicates that altered patterns of neural oscillatory mechanisms underpinning executive functioning are associated with the psychiatric disorder. Such brain oscillatory changes have been found in local amplitude differences at gamma and theta frequen...
متن کاملOscillatory correlates of interference 1 Running head: OSCILLATORY CORRELATES OF INTERFERENCE Distinct electrophysiological correlates of proactive and similarity-based interference in visual working memory
Using scalp electroencephalography, we investigated the oscillatory correlates of similarity-based and proactive interference in a visual working memory task. On each trial, participants were asked to judge whether a face or a sinusoidal grating was present on a just-studied list. Similarity-based interference occurs due to the similarity of study items to the probe and to one another, whereas ...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive rehabilitation on improving working memory of adolescents with traumatic brain injury. The method of this research was quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test with control and follow-up groups. To conduct this study, 20 adolescents aged 9-18 years with traumatic brain injury referred to medical centers in S...
متن کاملBrain Functional Correlates of Intelligence Score in ADHD Based on EEG
Introduction: It has been shown that intelligence as a general mental ability is related to the structure and function of the brain regions. However, the specificity of these regional dependencies to the intelligence scores in the typical and atypical developed individuals needs to be well understood. In this study, we hypothesized that neural correlates of IQ should not have a fixed pattern ra...
متن کاملCognitive Patterns of Coma Patients Induced by Severe Traumatic Brain Injury in Working Memory
Background and Aim: Coma caused by severe traumatic brain injury, leads to cognitive function disorder, the most frequently affects being on the working memory. Because of the importance and direct impact of working memory on the quality of human life, especially in military skills that require active memory and high attentional power; the present study aimed to investigate the cognitive patter...
