What can be expected in normal aging, and where does normal aging stop and pathological
neurodegeneration begin? With the slow progression of age-related dementias such as …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is traditionally associated with attention, perceptual
decision making and sensorimotor transformations, but more recent human neuroimaging …

The scale at which humans can handle complex social situations is massively increased
compared to other animals. However, the neural substrates of this scaling remain poorly …

Visual object memory is a fundamental element of various cognitive abilities, and the
underlying neural mechanisms have been extensively examined especially in the anterior …

We know how confidently we know: Metacognitive self-monitoring of memory states, so-
called “metamemory,” enables strategic and efficient information collection based on past …

Cortical surface area has tremendously expanded during human evolution, and similar
patterns of cortical expansion have been observed during childhood development. An …

The primary motor cortex has an important role in the precise execution of learned motor
responses. During motor learning, synaptic efficacy between sensory and primary motor …

Electrical stimulation of the medial temporal lobe (MTL) has the potential to uncover causal
circuit mechanisms underlying memory function. However, little is known about how MTL …

Establishing homologies between cortical areas in animal models and humans lies at the
heart of translational neuroscience, as it demonstrates how knowledge obtained from these …

The right inferior frontal cortex (IFC) is critical to response inhibition. The right IFC referred in
the human studies of response inhibition is located in the posterior part of the inferior frontal …
