The brain is not mental! coupling neuronal and immune cellular processing in human organisms

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2023
Significant efforts have been made in the past decades to understand how mental and cognitive processes are underpinned by neural mechanisms in the brain. This paper argues that a promising way forward in understanding the nature of human cognition is to

Distinct cognitive mechanisms in a gambling task share neural mechanisms [PDF]

Psychophysiology, 2011
AbstractDistinct psychological processes have been proposed to unfold in decision‐making. The time course of neural mechanisms supporting these processes has not been fully identified. The present MEG study examined spatio‐temporal activity related to components of decision‐making proposed to support reward valuation, reward prediction, and outcome ...

Neural Mechanisms of Cognitive Dissonance (Revised): An EEG Study [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2017
Cognitive dissonance theory suggests that our preferences are modulated by the mere act of choosing. A choice between two similarly valued alternatives creates psychological tension (cognitive dissonance) that is reduced by a postdecisional reevaluation of the alternatives. We measured EEG of human subjects during rest and free-choice paradigm.

Humor comprehension and creative cognition: Shared and distinct neurocognitive mechanisms as indicated by EEG alpha activity

NeuroImage, 2020
Humor comprehension is increasingly recognized as showing parallels to more conventional creative cognition; yet our understanding of brain mechanisms underlying creative cognition in a humorous context is still limited.

Situated cognition and the function of behavior [PDF]

, 2018
In his review of “situated cognition” Cheng reminds us that the properties of cognition can be influenced by much more than what is going on in the brain.

Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS) Mechanisms and Protocols

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Perception, cognition and consciousness can be modulated as a function of oscillating neural activity, while ongoing neuronal dynamics are influenced by synaptic activity and membrane potential. Consequently, transcranial alternating current stimulation (

Signal diffusion along connectome gradients and inter-hub routing differentially contribute to dynamic human brain function

NeuroImage, 2021
Human cognition is dynamic, alternating over time between externally-focused states and more abstract, often self-generated, patterns of thought. Although cognitive neuroscience has documented how networks anchor particular modes of brain function ...

The Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms of Curiosity

, 2023
Curiosity, the intrinsic desire for information, is a significant but underexplored driver of human exploration, learning, and discovery. This dissertation seeks to uncover the cognitive and neural mechanisms of curiosity, in addition to investigating its impact on memory, contributing to our understanding of this fundamental aspect of human cognition.
