Journal ArticleDOI
Is handwriting posture associated with differences in motor control? An analysis of asymmetries in the readiness potential
TL;DR: Findings suggest that, although control of certain movements may originate from the ipsilateral motor cortex in a small proportion of left-handers, handwriting posture does not index this difference.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of acute tryptophan depletion on emotional distraction and subsequent memory
Lihong Wang,O'Dhaniel A. Mullette-Gillman,Kishore M. Gadde,Cynthia M. Kuhn,Gregory McCarthy,Scott A. Huettel +5 more
TL;DR: FMRI results highlight the importance of serotonin in negative memory with implications for mood disorders and suggest a possible compensatory mechanism for coping with increased task demand under the ATD challenge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Goal-Directed Actions Activate the Face-Sensitive Posterior Superior Temporal Sulcus and Fusiform Gyrus in the Absence of Human-Like Perceptual Cues
Sarah Shultz,Gregory McCarthy +1 more
TL;DR: This work observed an interaction effect whereby the presence of either human-like perceptual cues or goal-directed actions was sufficient to activate the right posterior superior temporal sulcus and fusiform face area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Faces evoke spatially differentiated patterns of BOLD activation and deactivation.
TL;DR: The novel observation that faces deactivated other areas of ventral extrastriate cortex, primarily in the lingual and parahippocampal gyri and medial to activations, may reflect populations of neurons that decrease their activity when faces appear, possibly as a consequence of category‐specific inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactivation during encoding supports the later discrimination of similar episodic memories.
TL;DR: The authors found evidence that hippocampal mediated reactivation of an earlier event when a similar one occurs supports subsequent memory that two similar but not identical events occurred (mnemonic discrimination) during functional MRI (fMRI).
