Cortical activity modulation of language processing by dynamic optimization of task complexity and functional restrictions
Language, regarded as a hierarchical cognitive code activated by functional operational modes of the brain by most neuropsychologists, is characterized by increased cognitive load in successively h…

Chronic cocaine enhances release of neuroprotective amino acid taurine: a microdialysis study
Cocaine inhibits high-affinity neurotransmitter uptake at the presynaptic nerve terminals to increase synaptic levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin1. This increase of synaptic dopamin…

Phonology is Fundamental in Skilled Reading
There is controversy about the importance of phonology in skilled reading. Event-related potential (ERP) evidence from the initial moments of visual word recognition indicates that processing sub-l…

Cortical responses reflecting inhibition of return (IOR): a magnetoencephalographic study
Inhibition of return (IOR) is a phenomenon whereby the reaction time (RT) to detect a second stimulus (target) presented at the same location as the first stimulus (cue) is longer than when the tar…

Reduced contribution of the ipsilateral primary motor cortex to force modulation with short-term motor learning in humans: An NIRS study
How is muscle force modulated during hand exercise? Oxygenation in the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) has been observed to vary considerably across trials of repetitive handgrip exercise. ...

Representing an Object by Interchanging What with Where
Exploring representations is a fundamental step towards understanding vision. The visual system carries two types of information along separate pathways: One is about what it is and the other is ab…
