2013, Biological PsychologyAge, sex, and verbal abilities affect location of linguistic connectivity in ventral visual pathway
2013, Brain and LanguageCitation Excerpt :As children grow older and improve reading performance, linguistic connectivity may thus shift (or expand) from the temporal lobe into occipital cortex, reflecting an increased awareness of individual letter combinations. Alternatively, lateral temporal regions show stimulus specificity for smaller (or more centralized) objects than medial temporal regions (Hasson, Harel, Levy, & Malach, 2003; Lerner et al., 2003; Levy, Hasson, Avidan, Hendler, & Malach, 2001; see also Chao, Martin, & Haxby, 1999; Maguire, Frith, & Cipolotti, 2001a); thus, increased awareness of letter combinations as children become better readers with age might instead result in a lateral shift (or expansion) of lexical connectivity within the temporal lobe. Such a shift would be analogous (but opposite in direction) to the lateral-to-medial shift in fusiform face processing with age with improvements in recognizing global features (Chao et al., 1999).
TDCS guided using fMRI significantly accelerates learning to identify concealed objects
2012, NeuroImageCitation Excerpt :This suggests that brain regions mediating endogenous attention, including frontal, parietal and temporal regions, may provide resistance to this perceptual confusion and facilitate the perception of concealed objects. This relationship between activity in areas mediating endogenous attention and performance in tasks involving object detection is supported by a number of prior studies that suggest an important role for frontal, parietal, middle and superior temporal areas in object categorization and visual search tasks (Beauchamp et al., 2004; Clark et al., 1996; Coull et al., 1996; Maguire et al., 2001; Fan et al., 2005; Buschman and Miller, 2007; Cabeza et al., 2008) and in attentional networks that facilitate the classification of objects (Clark and Hillyard, 1996; Posner and Peterson, 1990), extraction of categorical information from objects (Freedman et al., 2001; Nieder et al., 2002), and other relevant cognitive processes (Ericsson and Staszewski, 1989; Miller et al., 1996; Rao et al., 1997). It follows that these brain networks may contribute to the recognition of hidden and concealed objects, in part by supporting endogenous attentional processes required to perform these tasks.
