Characteristics of visual seeking and evoked potentials in the extrastriate areas of the cortex in humans.

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology
I N Baranov-Krylov, A P Astashchenko

Abstract

Studies in 11 young, healthy subjects addressed the characteristics of visual seeking (time taken, errors) on changes in the parameters of the target element to be sought (shape, color, and location) in an environment containing heterogeneous white distractors. Evoked potentials (EP) were recorded in six cortical leads (P3, P4, T3, T4, T5, T6) and the late endogenous components of EP were studied, i.e., the N2 and P3 components (standard terminology), as these components are known to change when the type of search changes, in the zone of so-called late selection. When the search difficulty increased (increased similarity between target and distractors), an increase in seeking time was accompanied by a delay in the P3 component and a decrease in its amplitude. Location of the target in a defined position resulted in a decrease in search time and a reduction in the latent period of the P3 component as compared with the situation in which the target position was indeterminate. Changes in the color of the target stimulus led to elimination of the inhibitory action of the distractors: EP parameters were no different from those recorded on presentation of single stimuli. A high level of correlation was found between search parameters...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
