The aforementioned finding of activity in default network regions being modulated by the type of semantic representation (real>fictional) [8] hinted at a means by which passive and active approaches to study the functional significance of the default network could be integrated within one paradigm.
Furthermore, the study applied a block design that might prevent the finding of activity patterns in rapidly habituating structures.
The frontoparietal network has been implicated in top-down control of attention [Hopfinger et al., 2000], and activity in the PFC has been shown to scale with attentional demands [Mayer,et al., 2007], suggesting that our finding of activity differences between groups in these regions does indeed reflect differences in effort and/or task difficulty.
In a comparison cohort of pain-free subjects (with similar activity levels) there were no findings of Doppler activity within the tendon.
Given the findings of dynamical activity during overt movements, a potentially exciting open question is whether motor cortex exhibits dynamical activity during purely imagined movements.
The new study, however, supports Dr. Duncan's findings of increased activity and extends that work.
However, prior findings of amygdala activity associated with increased cognitive control have also been repeatedly observed, although they typically receive less attention in the literature.
These remarkable findings of crizotinib activity led to two subsequent phase III clinical trials of this drug.
However, preclinical findings of antineoplastic activity of statins warrant their further evaluation as potential chemopreventive agents (Chan et al, 2003; Sassano and Platania, 2008; Tapia-Pérez et al, 2010).
These data show that previous findings of low activity levels in South Asian children extend, in the case of British Pakistani girls, into the school playground.
