It is controversial whether different cognitive functions can be mapped to discrete regions of
the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The localisationist tradition has associated one cognitive function …

Functional neuroimaging techniques have transformed our ability to probe the neurobiological
basis of behaviour and are increasingly being applied by the wider neuroscience …

There is much interest currently in using functional neuroimaging techniques to understand
better the nature of cognition. One particular practice that has become common is ‘reverse …

Learning and memory in humans rely upon several memory systems, which appear to have
dissociable brain substrates 1 , 2 . A fundamental question concerns whether, and how, …

Neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies have implicated left inferior prefrontal cortex
(LIPC) in both semantic and phonological processing. In this study, functional magnetic …

Acquisition of a new skill is generally associated with a decrease in the need for effortful
control over performance, leading to the development of automaticity. Automaticity by definition …

… Regions of interest (ROIs) may be used either to extract estimates of evoked signals or to
limit corrections for multiple tests to a subset of all voxels (Poldrack, 2007). In either case, it …

The rapid growth of the literature on neuroimaging in humans has led to major advances in
our understanding of human brain function but has also made it increasingly difficult to …

People typically exhibit greater sensitivity to losses than to equivalent gains when making
decisions. We investigated neural correlates of loss aversion while individuals decided …

Preprocessing of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) involves numerous steps to
clean and standardize the data before statistical analysis. Generally, researchers create ad …
