Get Stoke(S)D! Introduction to the Special Focus

Get Stoke(S)D! Introduction to the Special Focus Bradley R. Postle For the past 20 Jahre, Mark Stokes has had a remarkably outsized influence on many areas of research within cog- nitive neuroscience. As an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne, in the laboratory of Jason Mattingley, he contributed to several studies pioneering the use of TMS for the study of human cognition (vgl. Feredoes, 2023).

Modeling Biological Face Recognition with

Modeling Biological Face Recognition with Deep Convolutional Neural Networks Leonard Elia van Dyck and Walter Roland Gruber Abstract ■ Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) have become the state-of-the-art computational models of biological object recognition. Their remarkable success has helped vision sci- ence break new ground, and recent efforts have started to transfer this achievement to research on biological face recog- Nation. In this regard, Gesicht

Theta-band Connectivity within Cognitive Control Brain

Theta-band Connectivity within Cognitive Control Brain Networks Suggests Common Neural Mechanisms for Cognitive and Implicit Emotional Control Agnieszka K. Adamczyk1,2 and Miroslaw Wyczesany2 Abstract ■ Self-control is a core aspect of adaptive human behavior. It allows the attainment of personal goals by regulating unwanted thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Previous research high- lighted the crucial role of cognitive control for explicitly pur- sued self-control and explicit

Ekstatische oder mystische Erfahrung durch Epilepsie

Ecstatic or Mystical Experience through Epilepsy Fabienne Picard Abstract ■ Ecstatic epilepsy is a rare form of focal epilepsy, so named because the seizures’ first symptoms consist of an ecstatic/mystical experience, including feelings of increased self-awareness, men- tal clarity, and “unity with everything that exists,” accompanied by a sense of bliss and physical well-being. In this perspective arti- cle, we first describe the phenomenology of

A Tale about the Frontal Lobes as Told by a Neurologist

A Tale about the Frontal Lobes as Told by a Neurologist Mark D’Esposito My tale starts in 1988 when I was a neurology resident at Boston University and rotating through the Boston VA Hospital. The patients most fascinating to me were in the Behavioral Neurology ward. It was where some of the most eminent behavioral neurologists, such as Norman Geschwind, Frank Benson, Marty Albert, Und

Phase-locking of Neural Activity to the Envelope of Speech

Phase-locking of Neural Activity to the Envelope of Speech in the Delta Frequency Band Reflects Differences between Word Lists and Sentences Yousef Mohammadi1, Carina Graversen1, Jan Østergaard1, Ole Kaeseler Andersen1, and Tobias Reichenbach2 Abstract ■ The envelope of a speech signal is tracked by neural activity in the cerebral cortex. The cortical tracking occurs mainly in two frequency bands, theta (4–8 Hz) and delta (1–4

Identifying the Neural Bases of Math Competence Based on

Identifying the Neural Bases of Math Competence Based on Structural and Functional Properties of the Human Brain Xueying Ren and Melissa E. Libertus Abstract ■ Human populations show large individual differences in math performance and math learning abilities. Early math skill acquisition is critical for providing the foundation for higher quantitative skill acquisition and succeeding in modern society. Jedoch, the neural bases underlying individual differences

Estradiol and the Catechol-o-methyltransferase Gene

Estradiol and the Catechol-o-methyltransferase Gene Interact to Predict Working Memory Performance: A Replication and Extension Courtney C. Louis1 , Emily Jacobs2, Mark D’Esposito3, and Jason Moser1 Abstract ■ Decades of evidence across taxa have established the impor- tance of dopamine (DA) signaling in the pFC for successful working memory performance. Genetic and hormonal factors can shape individual differences in prefrontal DA tone. The catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT)

Stimulus Onset Asynchrony Affects Weighting-related

Stimulus Onset Asynchrony Affects Weighting-related Event-related Spectral Power in Self-motion Perception Ben Townsend , Joey K. Legere, Martin v. Mohrenschildt, and Judith M. Shedden Abstract ■ Self-motion perception relies primarily on the integration of the visual, vestibular, proprioceptive, and somatosensory sys- Systeme. There is a gap in understanding how a temporal lag between visual and vestibular motion cues affects visual– vestibular weighting during self-motion perception.

Can the Brain Strategically Go on Automatic Pilot?

Can the Brain Strategically Go on Automatic Pilot? The Effect of If–Then Planning on Behavioral Flexibility Tim van Timmeren1,2 , John P. McCarthy. O’Doherty3, Nadza Dzinalija4, and Sanne de Wit1 Abstract ■ People often have good intentions but fail to adhere to them. Implementation intentions, a form of strategic planning, can help people to close this intention–behavior gap. Their effectiveness has been proposed to depend on
