Recent neuroscientific evidence has revealed that the adult brain is capable of substantial
plastic change in such areas as the primary somatosensory cortex that were formerly …

The event-related brain potential (ERP) literature concerning the impact of emotional content
on visual word processing is reviewed and related to general knowledge on semantics in …

Emotional words are preferentially processed during silent reading. Here, we investigate to
what extent different components of the visual evoked potential, namely the P1, N1, the early …

We investigated to what extent emotional connotation influences cortical potentials during
reading. To this end, event‐related potentials (ERPs) were recorded during reading of high …

Affective startle modulation in the electromyographic (EMG), auditory startle evoked
potentials, and visually evoked potentials (VEPs) were assessed while subjects evaluated …

Despite the alarming increase in the prevalence of depression during adolescence,
particularly among female adolescents, the pathophysiology of depression in adolescents …

Grounded theories hold sensorimotor activation is critical to language processing. Such
theories have focused predominantly on the dominant senses of sight and hearing …

Cortical processing of emotional words differs from that of neutral words. Using EEG event-
related potentials (ERPs), the present study examines the functional stage (s) of this …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functional organization of the brain in
chronic pain. The chapter focuses on cortical reorganization and chronic pain. It also …
