Cognitive conjunction and cognitive functions

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2004
We argue that conjunction analysis does not solve the problems with subtraction analyses that it sets out to solve and that it has additional problems of its own. We argue that detailed analyses of the tasks set to identify cognitive functions are required for both conjunction and subtraction analyses to achieve their goals of localizing cognitive ...

Regular Moderate- to Vigorous-Intensity Physical Activity Rather Than Walking Is Associated with Enhanced Cognitive Functions and Mental Health in Young Adults

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
The beneficial effect of physical activity (PA) on the brain has been well established. Both acute and regular PA can boost a range of cognitive functions and enhance mood and mental health.

Morning Plasma Melatonin Differences in Autism: Beyond the Impact of Pineal Gland Volume

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2019
While low plasma melatonin, a neuro-hormone synthesized in the pineal gland, has been frequently associated with autism, our understanding of the mechanisms behind it have remained unclear.

Neurosystems: brain rhythms and cognitive processing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Neuronal rhythms are ubiquitous features of brain dynamics, and are highly correlated with cognitive processing. However, the relationship between the physiological mechanisms producing these rhythms and the functions associated with the rhythms remains ...

Commercial video games and cognitive functions: video game genres and modulating factors of cognitive enhancement

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2020
Unlike the emphasis on negative results of video games such as the impulsive engagement in video games, cognitive training studies in individuals with cognitive deficits showed that characteristics of video game elements were helpful to train cognitive ...

The Impact of Practicing Open- vs. Closed-Skill Sports on Executive Functions—A Meta-Analytic and Systematic Review with a Focus on Characteristics of Sports

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
Exercise modes can be categorized based on the skills required (open vs. closed skills), which implicates various demands on cognitive skills, especially executive functions (EFs). Thus, their practice may have varying effects on EFs.

Switching to the rubber hand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inducing the rubber hand illusion (RHI) requires that participants look at an imitation hand while it is stroked in synchrony with their occluded biological hand.

Disruption of melatonin synthesis is associated with impaired 14-3-3 and miR-451 levels in patients with autism spectrum disorders

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by a wide genetic and clinical heterogeneity. However, some biochemical impairments, including decreased melatonin (crucial for circadian regulation) and elevated platelet N-acetylserotonin (the precursor

Evolution of cognitive function via redeployment of brain areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The creative re-use of existing cognitive capacities may have played a significant role in the evolutionary development of the brain. There are obvious evolutionary advantages to such redeployment, and the data presented here confirm three important ...
