The Cortical Activity of Graded Relevance [PDF]
Relevance is an essential concept in Information Retrieval (IR). Recent studies using brain imaging have significantly contributed towards the understanding of this concept, but only as a binary notion, i.e. a document being judged as relevant or non-relevant.

Cortical and subcortical somatosensory regulation of dopaminergic neurons: role of the superior colliculus [PDF]
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons exhibit a short-latency, phasic response to unexpected biologically salient stimuli, including rewards. Despite extensive research on this DA signal, very little is known about the sources of sensory ...

Motor-cortical activity in tetraplegics [PDF]
It may eventually be feasible to reconstruct voluntary motor activity in the paralysed. Paralysed patients may benefit from the development of an implantable brain–computer interface device that can bypass damaged motor pathways1,2,3. But it is unclear whether chronically de-efferented areas will still be sufficiently excitable to respond to motor ...

Prolonged cholinergic enrichment influences regional cortical activation in early Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Neuroimaging studies of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) indicate that the short and long term actions of ChEIs are dissimilar. fMRI studies of the ChEI rivastigmine have focused on its short term action.

Quantitative differences in developmental profiles of spontaneous activity in cortical and hippocampal cultures [PDF]
PC and AM were supported by the Wellcome Trust Genes to Cognition programme. PC received additional support from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BB/H008608/1). EC was supported by a Wellcome Trust PhD studentship and Cambridge

In order for electroencephalography (EEG) with sensory stimuli measures to be used in research and neurological clinical practice, demonstration of reliability is needed. However, this is rarely examined.

Reasoning, models, and images: behavioral measures and cortical activity [PDF]
The goal of this study was to investigate the neurocognitive processes of mental imagery in deductive reasoning. Behavioral studies yielded four sorts of verbal relations: (1) visuospatial relations that are easy to envisage both visually and spatially; (
