A comparison of automated segmentation and manual tracing for quantifying hippocampal and amygdala volumes

TL;DR: The goal was to compare the performance of two popular and fully automated tools, FSL/FIRST and FreeSurfer, to expert hand tracing in the measurement of the hippocampus and amygdala, and found both techniques had comparable volume overlap and similar sample size estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Extrastriate Visual Cortex and the Perception of Faces, Words, Numbers, and Colors

TL;DR: The results suggest that there are several processing streams in inferior extrastriate cortex, in addition to object recognition systems previously proposed for faces and words, and preliminary results suggest a separate system dealing with numbers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrophysiological Studies of Human Face Perception. II: Response Properties of Face-specific Potentials Generated in Occipitotemporal Cortex

TL;DR: Responsibility of N200 and related ERPs to the perceptual features of faces and other images was assessed and Hemifield stimulation demonstrated that the right hemisphere is better at processing information about upright faces and transferring it to the left hemisphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociable prefrontal brain systems for attention and emotion.

TL;DR: Results show that attentional and emotional functions are segregated into parallel dorsal and ventral streams that extend into prefrontal cortex and are integrated in the anterior cingulate, which may have implications for understanding the neural dynamics underlying emotional distractibility on attentional tasks in affective disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Infrequent Events Transiently Activate Human Prefrontal and Parietal Cortex as Measured by Functional MRI

TL;DR: McCarthy et al. as discussed by the authors found that frequent events transiently activate human prefrontal and parietal cortex as measured by functional MRI, and that the prefrontal cortex is more sensitive to frequent events than the other parts of the brain.
