Competition for consciousness among visual events: the Psychophysics of reentrant visual processes

by Vincent Di Lollo, James T. Enns, Ronald A. Rensink - Journal of Experimental Psychology: General , 2000
"... Advances in neuroscience implicate reentrant signaling as the predominant form of communication between brain areas. This principle was used in a series of masking experiments that defy explanation by feed-forward theories. The masking occurs when a brief display of target plus mask is continued wit ..."

Emotion, plasticity, context, and regulation: Perspectives from affective neuroscience

by Richard J. Davidson, Daren C. Jackson, Ned H. Kalin - Psychological Bulletin , 2000
"... The authors present an overview of the neural bases of emotion. They underscore the role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and amygdala in 2 broad approach- and withdrawal-related motion systems. Components and measures of affective style are identified. Emphasis is given to affective chronometry and a ..."

and a role for the PFC in this process is proposed. Plasticity in the central circuitry of emotion is considered, and implications of data showing experience-induced changes in the hippocampus for understanding psychopathology and stress-related symptoms are discussed. Two key forms of affective

Prion diseases of humans and animals: their causes and molecular basis." Annu Rev Neurosci 24

"... Key Words prion protein, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, spongiform encephalopathy, scrapie s Abstract Prion diseases are transmissible neurodegenerative conditions that include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) and scrapie in animals. Prions appear to ..."

biological implications. The appearance of a novel human prion disease, variant CJD, and the clear experimental evidence that it is caused by exposure to BSE has highlighted the need to understand the molecular basis of prion propagation, pathogenesis, and the barriers limiting intermammalian transmission

A critical role for the right fronto-insular cortex in switching between central-executive and default-mode networks.

by Devarajan Sridharan , † ‡ , Daniel J Levitin , Vinod Menon - Proc Natl Acad Sci USA , 2008
"... Cognitively demanding tasks that evoke activation in the brain's central-executive network (CEN) have been consistently shown to evoke decreased activation (deactivation) in the default-mode network (DMN). The neural mechanisms underlying this switch between activation and deactivation of larg ..."

task-free resting state. These results indicate that the rFIC is likely to play a major role in switching between distinct brain networks across task paradigms and stimulus modalities. Our findings have important implications for a unified view of network mechanisms underlying both exogenous

Resilience in development

by Ann S. Masten - In Handbook of Positive Psychology. C.R. Snyder & S.J , 2002
"... ABSTRACT: The first three waves of research on resilience in develop-ment, largely behavioral in focus, contributed a compelling set of concepts and methods, a surprisingly consistent body of findings, provocative is-sues and controversies, and clues to promising areas for the next wave of resilienc ..."

of resilience research linking biology and neuroscience to behavioral adap-tation in development. Behavioral investigators honed the definitions and assessments of risk, adversity, competence, developmental tasks, protec-tive factors, and other key aspects of resilience, as they sought to un-derstand how some

Cognitive emotion regulation: Insights from social cognitive and affective neuroscience

by Kevin N. Ochsner, James J. Gross - Current Directions in Psychological Science , 2008
"... ABSTRACT—Recent developments in the study of cognitive emotion regulation illustrate how functional imaging is extending behavioral analyses. Imaging studies have con-tributed to the development of a multilevel model of emo-tion regulation that describes the interactions between neural systems impli ..."

We show how imaging studies have contrib-uted to the construction of this model, illustrate the inter-play of psychological theory

How Psychological Science Informs The Teaching Of Reading

by Keith Rayner, Barbara R. Foorman, Charles A. Perfetti, Mark S. Seidenberg, David Pesetsky , 2001
"... This monograph discusses research, theory, and practice relevant to how children learn to read English. After an initial overview of writing systems, the discussion summarizes research from developmental psychology on children's language competency when they enter school and on the nature of ea ..."

of early reading development. Subsequent sections review theories of learning to read, the characteristics of children who do not learn to read (i.e., who have developmental dyslexia), research from cognitive psychology and cognitive neuroscience on skilled reading, and connectionist models of learning

by Yong He, Zhang J. Chen, Alan C. Evans, Mcconnell Brain, Imaging Centre, Montreal Neurological , 2007
"... An important issue in neuroscience is the characterization for the underlying architectures of complex brain networks. However, little is known about the network of anatomical connections in the human brain. Here, we investigated large-scale anatomical connection patterns of the human cerebral corte ..."
