The precise functional role of the hippocampus remains a topic of much debate. The
dominant view is that the dorsal (or posterior) hippocampus is implicated in memory and …

In speaking and comprehending language, word information is retrieved from memory and
combined into larger units (unification). Unification operations take place in parallel at the …

A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of
functional diversity in brain regions and networks. The computer analogy of the mind has …

An emerging class of theories concerning the functional structure of the brain takes the
reuse of neural circuitry for various cognitive purposes to be a central organizational …

Perceptual decision making is the act of choosing one option or course of action from a set

Dysfunction of the mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic reward system is a core feature of
schizophrenia (SZ), yet its precise contributions to different stages of reward processing and …

Intention is central to the concept of voluntary action. Using functional magnetic resonance
imaging, we compared conditions in which participants made self-paced actions and …

We studied the functional organization of human posterior parietal and frontal cortex using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to map preparatory signals for attending …

It is well established that the premotor cortex has a central role in the selection of
movements. The role of parts of the parietal cortex in movement control has proved more …

This study explored whether hand location affected spatial attention. The authors used a
visual covert-orienting paradigm to examine whether spatial attention mechanisms …
