Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that transient coupling between low- and high-frequency brain rhythms coordinates activity in distributed cortical areas, providing a mechanism for effective communication during cognitive processing in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The functional role of cross-frequency coupling.
TL;DR: CFC might serve as a mechanism to transfer information from large-scale brain networks operating at behavioral timescales to the fast, local cortical processing required for effective computation and synaptic modification, thus integrating functional systems across multiple spatiotemporal scales.
BookDOI
Principles of frontal lobe function
Donald T. Stuss,Robert T. Knight +1 more
TL;DR: The second edition of Principles of Frontal Lobe Function is a newly organized, and thoroughly updated, volume divided into 9 different sections, each co-edited by leaders in the specific domain of frontal lobe research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frontal Lobe Contributions to Theory of Mind
TL;DR: Patients with bilateral damage to orbito-frontal cortex and unilateral damage in left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex performed similarly to individuals with Asperger's syndrome, performing well on simpler tests and showing deficits on tasks requiring more subtle social reasoning, such as the ability to recognize a faux pas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voxel-based lesion–symptom mapping
Elizabeth Bates,Stephen M. Wilson,Ayse Pinar Saygin,Frederic Dick,Martin I. Sereno,Robert T. Knight,Nina F. Dronkers +6 more
TL;DR: VLSM maps for measures of speech fluency and language comprehension in 101 left-hemisphere-damaged aphasic patients confirm the anticipated contrast between anterior and posterior areas and indicate that interacting regions facilitate Fluency and auditory comprehension, in agreement with findings from modern brain imaging.
