Eccles and colleagues (Ec...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/013.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: This paper considers evidence provided by large neuropsychological group studies and meta-analyses of functional imaging experiments on the location in frontal cortex of the subprocesses involved in the carrying out of task-switching paradigms. The f...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/006.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Implantation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes via stereotactic neurosurgery has become a standard procedure for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. More recently, the range of neuropsychiatric conditions and the possible target stru...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/003.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Persistent activity observed in neurophysiological experiments in monkeys is thought to be the neuronal correlate of working memory. Over the last decade, network modellers have strived to reproduce the main features of these experiments. In particul...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/010.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: In the hippocampus in vivo, both synaptic plasticity and network activity are closely interdependent. We have found that immediately after an attempt to induce long-term potentiation (LTP), changes in theta (5-10 Hz) and gamma (30-100 Hz) activity co...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/014.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: A critical problem in daily decision making is how to choose actions now in order to bring about rewards later. Indeed, many of our actions have long-term consequences, and it is important to not be myopic in balancing the pros and cons of different ...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/002.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: The different gene members of the Egr family of transcriptional regulators have often been considered to have related functions in brain, based on their co-expression in many cell-types and structures, the relatively high homology of the translated p...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/011.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are a potential source of dopaminergic neurons for treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Dopaminergic neurons can be derived from hESCs and display a characteristic midbrain phenotype. Once transplanted, they...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/009.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Sounds are encoded into electrical activity in the inner ear, where they are represented (roughly) as patterns of energy in narrow frequency bands. However, sounds are perceived in terms of their high-order properties. It is generally believed that t...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/012.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Digital brain atlases are useful as references, analytical tools, and as a data integration framework. As a result, they and their supporting tools are being recognized as potentially useful resources in the movement towards data sharing. Several p...Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/007.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Despite decades of societal investment in artificial learning systems, truly “intelligent” systems have yet to be realized. These traditional models are based on input-output pattern optimization and/or cognitive production rule modeling....Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/001.2008/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Sensory information is processed in distributed neuronal networks connected by intricate synaptic circuits. Studies of the rodent brain can provide insight into synaptic mechanisms of sensory perception and associative learning. In particular, the mo...Fri, 02 May 2008 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/1.1.017.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Children seem to acquire new know-how in a continuous and open-ended manner. In this paper, we hypothesize that an intrinsic motivation to progress in learning is at the origins of the remarkable structure of children's developmental trajectories. In...Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/1.1.003.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: Episodic and spatial memories engage the hippocampus during acquisition but migrate to the cerebral cortex over time. We have recently proposed that the interplay between slow-wave (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep propagates recent synaptic ...Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0100http://frontiersin.org/neuroscience/paper/10.3389/neuro.01/1.1.005.2007/Status : Published<br> Abstract: A significant concept in neuroscience is that sensory areas of the neocortex have evolved the remarkable ability to represent a number of stimulus features within the confines of a global map of the sensory periphery. Modularity, the term often used ...Mon, 15 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0100
