Rapid Plasticity of Human Cortical Movement Representation Induced by Practice

TL;DR: Training rapidly, and transiently, established a change in the cortical network representing the thumb, which encoded kinematic details of the practiced movement, suggesting that this phenomenon may be regarded as a short-term memory for movement and be the first step of skill acquisition.

Increased amygdala response to masked emotional faces in depressed subjects resolves with antidepressant treatment: an fMRI study

TL;DR: Depressed patients have left amygdala hyperarousal, even when processing stimuli outside conscious awareness, and increased amygdala activation normalizes with antidepressant treatment.

A quantitative comparison of simultaneous BOLD fMRI and NIRS recordings during functional brain activation.

TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude correspondences between NIRS and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data have been investigated and strong correlations were found between fMRI changes and all optical measures, with oxyhemoglobin providing the strongest correlation.

Left-handedness: association with immune disease, migraine, and developmental learning disorder.

TL;DR: An experimental study designed to test the following hypothesis derived from clinical observations: There is an elevated frequency in left-handed individuals and in their families of immune disease, migraine, and developmental learning disorders and finds markedly higher frequencies in the left- handers than in the right-handers.

Natural speech reveals the semantic maps that tile human cerebral cortex

TL;DR: This study systematically map semantic selectivity across the cortex using voxel-wise modelling of functional MRI data collected while subjects listened to hours of narrative stories, and uses a novel generative model to create a detailed semantic atlas.

The binomial distribution of right, mixed and left-handedness

TL;DR: Right, mixed and left handers are found in binomial proportions in seven samples of varied subjects whose lateral preferences were ascertained by several methods.

Handedness in musicians

TL;DR: In this article, the authors made an inquiry by means of a questionnaire which included a "handedness inventory" into the prevalence of left-handedness among musicians, and the difficulties, if any, which lefthanders experienced in acquiring executant skills.
