Temporal Lobe Transients and Prayer
… in the limbic system and affect the temporal lobes of the brain. According to this theory, ritual behavior could be used by individuals to induce micro-seizure activity. The theory predicted that an increase in alpha and theta activity in the temporal lobes of the brain would occur when …

Medial Temporal Lobe Structure and Function
Medial Temporal Lobe Structure and Function by Meghana Sunil Karnik Doctor of Philosophy in Biology and Biomedical Sciences: Neuroscience) Washington University in St. Louis, 2009 Professor John G. Csernansky, Chairperson My main goal was to examine the relationship between brain structure and …

Motor Network Organization in Frontal Lobe Epilepsy
Frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) is a seizure disorder that commonly coincides with functional motor deficits. While the source of these deficits is unknown, it is postulated that repeated seizure activity within the frontal lobe might impact the proximate motor network. To examine this hypothesis, …

Frontal-lobe mediated word retrieval in Parkinson's disease
… functioning, which is mediated by the frontal lobes of the brain. Tests of verbal fluency have been used to evaluate frontal lobe dysfunction. Letter fluency, however, may require different processes and mechanisms than semantic fluency. Martin and colleagues (1994) found that letter fluency …

Content representation in the human medial temporal lobe
… It is well-established that the medial temporal lobe (MTL) is crucial to both processes, but the MTL is not a single homogeneous region. In fact, it is composed of several anatomically distinct subregions including hippocampus, perirhinal cortex (PRC) and parahippocampal cortex (PHC). However, …

Metamemory and frontal lobe function in the elderly.
… the relation between metamemory and frontal lobe function in the elderly. Three age groups were included in the study to address these issues: a Young Control group (18-30 yrs); a Young-Old group (60-75 yrs); and an Old-Old group (76-90 yrs). Metamemory was assessed in two ways. Subjects …

Medial Temporal Lobe Structures Contribute to on -Line Processing
… view that structures of the medial temporal lobe contribute to the on-line processing of visual stimuli. These experiments uniquely demonstrate that the MTL is necessary for normal apprehension of even single stimuli when degraded, and for normal discrimination of even very simple …

ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHIC AND ELECTROMYOGRAPHIC BIOFEEDBACK TRAINING OF OCCIPITAL LOBE THETA RHYTHM
… human subjects to enhance levels of occipital lobe theta electro-encephalographic rhythms. It was hypothesized that the subject's level of physiological arousal would differentially influence the effectiveness of the training methods. The independent variables were: (1) baseline arousal, (2) …

Cognition and depression in cerebellar and frontal lobe stroke patients
… the cognitive profile of patients with frontal lobe (N = 28) versus cerebellar (N = 31) strokes, 2) examine the effects of depression on cognition, and 3) to understand how structural and emotional factors relate to cognitive functioning. Results are consistent with previous findings of impaired …

Frontal lobe asymmetry and impulsive aggression : a reinforcement sensitivity study.
The current study compared impulsive aggressive individuals and nonaggressive controls using frontal cortical EEG activity. Impulsive aggression is a reactive or emotionally charged violent response characterized by a loss of behavioral control. Previous physiological studies have found impulsive …

Analysis of the Molecular Mechanisms of Drosophila Antennal Lobe Development
… on one specific glomerulus in the antennal lobe or olfactory bulb, where they synapse with the dendrites of the postsynaptic cells, projection neurons (PNs) or mitral cells. Mutation in derailed/drl gene, a receptor tyrosine kinase, leads to the disruption of the glomerular pattern. Antibody …

Dissecting the human medial temporal lobe memory system by functional MRI
… subregions of the human medial temporal lobe (MTL) to declarative memory processes. The first study examines common neural correlates of memory encoding and recognition. Healthy subjects were scanned both while they memorized photographs of buildings and landscapes and while they tried to …

HORROR-EVOKED AROUSAL AND AMYGDALA BIAS OF THE MEDIAL TEMPORAL LOBE
… measured neural circuitry in the medial temporal lobe (MTL), including the amygdala sub-nuclei areas of the basolateral and the central-medial amygdala, the anterior and posterior hippocampus, and the perirhinal cortex. We present neural univariate signals of these regions of interest (ROIs), and …
