Not exact matches

After the incoming smell signal pattern is processed, this information is sent to different parts of the brain, including regions involved in memory and emotion, as well as to the cortex, where thinking takes place.

Working independently, Dulac and Anderson mapped patterns of brain activity in different brain regions while mice sniffed, ignored, fought, or mated with other mice.

Scientists measuring brain activity have found that in many regions, such as the sensory or motor cortex, activity sometimes oscillates at different frequencies, forming wave - like patterns.

«The pattern of activity in a brain region involved in spatial learning in the virtual world is completely different than when it processes activity in the real world,» said Mayank Mehta, a UCLA professor of physics, neurology and neurobiology in the UCLA College and the study's senior author.

Most of these approaches define a conscious brain as an integrated brain, where groups of cells in many different regions activate to form a cohesive pattern, explains Marcello Massimini, a neurophysiologist at the University of Milan in Italy.

Further experiments suggested the different effects may be due to a unique firing pattern by inhibitory neurons in a neighboring brain region, the zona incerta, during low frequency stimulation.

The same can be said for patterns of gene expression changes in the same brain region for different age frames.

Assumptions are often made that differences in patterns of brain activation between females and males in a particular task must mean that females and males use different mental processes to complete that task; however, mental processes are highly complex and involve interaction between many different regions of the brain (Fine, 2013).

Using a technology called functional Near - InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS), which uses infrared light to track changes in blood oxygen in different parts of the brain to provide a measure of what brain regions are becoming more activated (consuming more oxygen) during certain tasks, the investigation will compare the brain patterns of children with ASD and typical children who have similar imitation scores and eyetracking patterns, to determine whether children with ASD process the same imitation tasks differently from typically developing children, at the level of their brain activity.
