Fast and accurate visual recognition of single characters is crucial for efficient reading. We
explored the possible contribution of writing memory to character recognition processes. We …

The visual cortex has the capacity for experience-dependent change, or cortical plasticity,
that is retained throughout life. Plasticity is invoked for encoding information during …

Object category learning is a fundamental ability, requiring the combination of" bottom-up"
stimulus-driven with" top-down" task-specific information. It therefore may be a fruitful …

Prediction errors guide many forms of learning, providing teaching signals that help us
improve our performance. Implicit motor adaptation, for instance, is thought to be driven by …

Previous studies have shown that past and future temporal concepts are spatially
represented (past being located to the left and future to the right in a mental time line). This …

Supramodal representation of emotion and its neural substrates have recently attracted
attention as a marker of social cognition. However, the question whether perceptual …

There is evidence that rule-based category learning is supported by a broad neural network
that includes the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the head of the caudate …

Introduction 3. The central bottleneck 3.1. The response selection bottleneck 3.2. Bottleneck
processing and content-dependent interference 3.3. Practice effects and bottleneck …

Detecting neuroplasticity in global brain circuits in vivo is key for understanding myriad
processes such as memory, learning, and recovery from injury. Functional Magnetic …

Purpose To assess disease-related patterns of in vivo pathology in 11 patients with
Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS) compared to 20 healthy controls and 33 mild cognitive …
