The time-dependent effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working
memory was investigated by applying anodal stimulation over the left prefrontal cortex. This …

Background The middle frontal gyrus (MFG) is involved in attention, working memory, and
language-related processing. A detailed understanding of the subcortical white matter tracts …

Functional neuroimaging studies of humans engaged in retrieval from episodic memory
have revealed a surprisingly consistent pattern of retrieval-related activity in lateral posterior …

Human inferior parietal lobule (IPL) plays a key role in various cognitive functions. Its
functional diversity, including attention, language, and action processing, is reflected by its …

Experimental and theoretical studies have tried to gain insights into the involvement of the
Temporal Parietal Junction (TPJ) in a broad range of cognitive functions like memory …

Voluntary orienting of visual attention is conventionally measured in tasks with predictive
central cues followed by frequent valid targets at the cued location and by infrequent invalid …

Attention acts, through cortical feedback pathways, to enhance the response of cells
encoding expected or predicted information. Such observations are inconsistent with the …

Attentional orientation to a spatial cue and reorientation—after invalid cueing—are mediated
by two distinct networks in the human brain. A bilateral dorsal frontoparietal network …

The ability to stop a prepared response (reactive inhibition) appears to depend on the
degree to which stopping is expected (proactive inhibition). Functional MRI studies have …

This review discusses how visual and the tactile signals are combined in the brain to ensure
appropriate interactions with the space around the body. Visual and tactile signals converge …
