If you activate the area of the brain that generates laughter, for example, the subject may happily "explain" that his hilarity stems from an overly earnest looking doctor or an odd diagram on the wall.
By using functional brain imaging while stimulating the cells with blue light, they were able to show that it wasn't just the areas being flashed with light that were activated: The areas they are connected to also became active, suggesting that even in the large brains of primates, optogenetics can activate whole networks in the brain.
Overall, Foster [ 17] illustrated that dancing activates the areas in the brain associated with perception, emotions, executive function, memory and motor skills.
Finally, significant group differences in activation were found in the 500 ms (left hippocampus) and in the 1,000 ms (left and right hippocampus, and right thalamus) trial types, where controls activated the areas while patients deactivated (inhibited) them.
The heteroliganded gold nanoisland substrate with the mixed SAM was then partially activated (the area of MPA) to receive esters to covalently tether the protein to the surface of the gold nanoisland.
This process generally takes place unconsciously, but Yoo says fMRI feedback could teach patients how to consciously activate the regenerating areas.
In contrast, social rejection and the perception of a loss of status, was shown to activate the same areas of the brain associated with physical pain.
Olfactory receptor neurons then activate the brain area called the olfactory bulb.
To activate the sensing area in the system, students are required to wear the 'red glove' as the marker.
These data suggest that schizophrenic patients have visuospatial working memory deficits that are sensitive to pen-and-paper versions of the tasks that activate the Walker area 46 in non-human primates.
