Interactions between number and space in parietal cortex.
TLDR
It is proposed that these numerical–spatial interactions arise from common parietal circuits for attention to external space and internal representations of numbers.Abstract:
Since the time of Pythagoras, numerical and spatial representations have been inextricably linked. We suggest that the relationship between the two is deeply rooted in the brain's organization for these capacities. Many behavioural and patient studies have shown that numerical-spatial interactions run far deeper than simply cultural constructions, and, instead, influence behaviour at several levels. By combining two previously independent lines of research, neuroimaging studies of numerical cognition in humans, and physiological studies of spatial cognition in monkeys, we propose that these numerical-spatial interactions arise from common parietal circuits for attention to external space and internal representations of numbers.read more

Sources of Method Bias in Social Science Research and Recommendations on How to Control It
TL;DR: The meaning of the terms "method" and "method bias" are explored and whether method biases influence all measures equally are examined, and the evidence of the effects that method biases have on individual measures and on the covariation between different constructs is reviewed.

The attention system of the human brain: 20 years after.
TL;DR: The framework presented in the original article has helped to integrate behavioral, systems, cellular, and molecular approaches to common problems in attention research and has led to increased understanding of aspects of pathology and to some new interventions.

Cultural Recycling of Cortical Maps
TL;DR: A neuronal recycling hypothesis is proposed, according to which cultural inventions invade evolutionarily older brain circuits and inherit many of their structural constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural reuse: A fundamental organizational principle of the brain.
TL;DR: Neural reuse theories offer a distinct perspective on several topics of general interest, including the evolution and development of the brain, including (for instance) the evolutionary-developmental pathway supporting primate tool use and human language.

Common and distinct networks underlying reward valence and processing stages: A meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies
TL;DR: To better understand the reward circuitry in human brain, activation likelihood estimation (ALE) and parametric voxel-based meta-analyses (PVM) on 142 neuroimaging studies that examined brain activation in reward-related tasks in healthy adults were conducted.

Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain
TL;DR: Evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different attentional functions is reviewed, finding that one system is involved in preparing and applying goal-directed selection for stimuli and responses, and the other is specialized for the detection of behaviourally relevant stimuli.

Distributed Hierarchical Processing in the Primate Cerebral Cortex
TL;DR: A summary of the layout of cortical areas associated with vision and with other modalities, a computerized database for storing and representing large amounts of information on connectivity patterns, and the application of these data to the analysis of hierarchical organization of the cerebral cortex are reported on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurophysiological investigation of the basis of the fMRI signal
TL;DR: These findings suggest that the BOLD contrast mechanism reflects the input and intracortical processing of a given area rather than its spiking output, and that LFPs yield a better estimate of BOLD responses than the multi-unit responses.

Common regions of the human frontal lobe recruited by diverse cognitive demands.
John S. Duncan,Adrian M. Owen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed patterns of frontal-lobe activation associated with a broad range of different cognitive demands, including aspects of perception, response selection, executive control, working memory, episodic memory and problem solving.

Three parietal circuits for number processing
TL;DR: The horizontal segment of the intraparietal sulcus appears as a plausible candidate for domain specificity: It is systematically activated whenever numbers are manipulated, independently of number notation, and with increasing activation as the task puts greater emphasis on quantity processing.
