High pregnancy anxiety during mid-gestation is associated with decreased gray matter density in 6-9-year-old children.

TL;DR: This is the first prospective study to show that a specific temporal pattern of pregnancy anxiety is related to specific changes in brain morphology, and altered gray matter volume in brain regions affected by prenatal maternal anxiety may render the developing individual more vulnerable to neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders as well as cognitive and intellectual impairment.

Reduced basal ganglia volumes in Tourette's syndrome using three-dimensional reconstruction techniques from magnetic resonance images

TL;DR: These findings confirm and extend prior phenomenologic, neuropathologic, and neuroradiologic studies that implicate the basal ganglia in the pathogenesis of Tourette's syndrome.

Neural Substrates of Phonemic Perception

TL;DR: It is shown that an area extending along the left middle and anterior superior temporal sulcus (STS) is more responsive to familiar consonant-vowel syllables during an auditory discrimination task than to comparably complex auditory patterns that cannot be associated with learned phonemic categories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sleep transforms the cerebral trace of declarative memories

TL;DR: Using functional MRI, it is shown that postlearning sleep enhances hippocampal responses during recall of word pairs 48 h after learning, indicating intrahippocampal memory processing during sleep, and that sleep induces a memory-related functional connectivity between the hippocampus and the mPFC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kinesthetic, but not visual, motor imagery modulates corticomotor excitability

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that kinesthetic, but not visual, motor imagery modulates corticomotor excitability, primarily at the supraspinal level, which has implications for the definition of motor imagery, and for its therapeutic applications.

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.

Cerebral Dominance and Its Relation To Psychological Function

- 01 Mar 1963 - 
TL;DR: It is true that a few cases of this disease are seen from time to time in Australia; but the patients have been immigrants infected in their country of Orkney in the Mediterranean area.
