A neural mechanism of cognitive reserve: The case of bilingualism

NeuroImage, 2022
Abstract Cognitive Reserve (CR) refers to the preservation of cognitive function in the face of age-or disease-related neuroanatomical decline. While bilingualism is known to contribute to CR, the extent to which, and what particular aspect of, second language experience contributes to CR are debated, and the underlying neural mechanism(

Shifting the Spotlight of Attention: Evidence for Discrete Computations in Cognition

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2010
Our thoughts have a limited bandwidth; we can only fully process a few items in mind simultaneously. To compensate, the brain developed attention, the ability to select information relevant to the current task, while filtering out the rest.

Elephant cognition in primate perspective [PDF]

, 2009
On many of the staple measures of comparative psychology, elephants show no obvious differences from other mammals, such as primates: discrimination learning, memory, spontaneous tool use, etc. However, a range of more naturalistic measures have recently

Event-related functional MRI of awake behaving pigeons at 7T

Nature Communications, 2020
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful method to understand neural mechanisms of cognition but imaging of small animals can be challenging.

A perspective on neural and cognitive mechanisms of error commission [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Behavioral adaptation and cognitive control are crucial for goal-reaching behaviors. Every creature is ubiquitously faced with choices between behavioral alternatives. Common sense suggests that errors are an important source of information in the regulation of such processes.

Precis of neuroconstructivism: how the brain constructs cognition [PDF]

, 2007
Neuroconstructivism: How the Brain Constructs Cognition proposes a unifying framework for the study of cognitive development that brings together (1) constructivism (which views development as the progressive elaboration of increasingly complex ...

Neural synchrony in cortical networks: history, concept and current status [PDF]

, 2009
Following the discovery of context-dependent synchronization of oscillatory neuronal responses in the visual system, the role of neural synchrony in cortical networks has been expanded to provide a general mechanism for the coordination of distributed ...

Psychopathic and autistic traits differentially influence the neural mechanisms of social cognition from communication signals

Translational Psychiatry, 2022
Psychopathy is associated with severe deviations in social behavior and cognition. While previous research described such cognitive and neural alterations in the processing of rather specific social information from human expressions, some open questions

General validity of Levelt's propositions reveals common computational mechanisms for visual rivalry [PDF]

, 2008
The mechanisms underlying conscious visual perception are often studied with either binocular rivalry or perceptual rivalry stimuli. Despite existing research into both types of rivalry, it remains unclear to what extent their underlying mechanisms ...
