The researchers created growth charts that reflected the configuration of what are called intrinsic connectivity networks — important units of
functional brain organization.
The article deals
with brain organization and proposes a need to rethink current ideas to make further progress possible.
A better understanding of
brain organization in dyslexia could potentially lead to better interventions to help struggling readers.
These studies indicate a pattern
of brain organization in poor readers that differs from that seen in nonimpaired readers, with less activity in regions of the left hemisphere that are associated with proficient reading.
Groundbreaking work that began more than a quarter of a century ago has led to ongoing insights
about brain organization and consciousness
Of additional importance, the distinct ERP markers identified by Mills are so characteristic of the
different brain organization in Williams that this information alone is approximately 90 percent accurate when analyzing brain activity to identify someone with Williams syndrome.
Researchers hope that figuring out handedness will help them better
understand brain organization and the causes of conditions such as dyslexia, stuttering, autism and schizophrenia.
Some of these brains showed surface creases similar to ones that were thought to have signaled a turn toward
humanlike brain organization in ancient hominids hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years ago.
Understanding these differences and their causes can yield insights into brain organization
«But when a child is born with limbs missing, she traverses a distinct developmental path that entails
novel brain organization and associated behavioral adjustments».
A more nuanced account capturing patterns of both task - related and intrinsic hypo - and hyper - connectivity observed in autism is essential for characterizing
aberrant brain organization in the disorder (Kana et al., 2011; Muller et al., 2011; Vissers et al., 2011).
Although there is obvious variation in
brain organization across vertebrate species, the basic brain blueprint has remained remarkably stable for millions of years, as have the mechanistic principles associated with how it regulates various functions, including behavior.
Here we map age - related changes in
brain organization during development, and beyond, using recently developed gradient - based methods for full brain cortical parcellation.
«These [new] findings suggest that, despite completely
different brain organization and hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary divergence, pigeons and monkeys solve this problem in a similar way,» says Brannon.
«These technology - inspired neuroscientific investigations, using advanced signal processing methods, push the frontier on what we know about
functional brain organization and the mind.»
This study, the first of its kind to examine the heritability
of brain organization in chimpanzees compared to humans, provides a clue as to why humans are so capable of adapting to various environments and cultures.
Further, experimental research can potentially reveal the principles of
brain organization that make the essential harmony possible in animals, and this might illuminate the general principles underlying all instances of emergent individuality.
In chimpanzees,
brain organization is also highly heritable, but in humans this is not the case.
In contrast, the findings related to
brain organization were different for chimpanzees and humans.
People with synesthesia — whose senses blend together — are providing valuable clues to understanding the organization and functions of the brain
Most experts believe the dominant hand is a by - product of a genetically driven process of
brain organization, which locates specific functions — like language — in one hemisphere of the brain or the other.
As you might expect, depriving the visual cortex of half of its expected input is a major change in experience that can trigger changes in
brain organization.
Regardless of the trigger, though, the fossils show that a «mammalian pattern of
brain organization is apparent at this very early stage of proto - mammalian evolution,» Deacon says.
«Without the right bias, you get more unusual patterns of
brain organization, which means more people at the top and bottom, and less in the middle.»
«Overlooked cells hold keys to
brain organization, disease, study shows.»
In people today, the same left - sided bias in
brain organization is associated with right - handedness.
Because of the resulting faulty wiring, she concludes, her subjects «are literally lacking
some brain organization that allows them to make strong connections to other human beings.»
She continued, «Overall, differences in
brain organization and social cognition may go a long way towards explaining why Neanderthals went extinct whereas modern humans survived.»
Lubenow states that «the crucial element is not brain size but
brain organization.
As play therapists learn more about brain development,
brain organization, and the impact of trauma we are better able to identify play therapy interventions likely to be effective treatment options.
