How this effect is related to self-referential processes in response to a preceding task needs to be investigated in future studies.
These two studies suggest that the DN may dynamically alter its functional connections across relatively short time scales of minutes, or even seconds, either in response to a preceding task or endogenously.
In response to the preceding gap in knowledge, we have conducted both: 1) a structured survey of domain experts at Academic Health Centers (AHCs); and 2) a subsequent thematic analysis of public-domain documentation provided by those same organizations.
The parametric modulation is measured in terms of the amount of rebound evoked by a deviant stimulus in comparison to the activity in response to the preceding standard stimuli.
In future surveys, the instructions on the questionnaire will stipulate whether responses to certain questions are conditional on responses to preceding questions.
Behavioral performance and ERPs were assessed in response to target locations preceded by valid, invalid and neutral cues.
This time point was carefully selected to identify early genetic changes in response to Oct4 knockdown, to precede developmental or cell cycle arrest at the multi-cell stage.
An early induction of MTA1 mRNA was observed in RAW264.7 cells by 2 h in response to MSU crystals, which preceded the induction of TG2 mRNA.
We, thus, conclude that 1) the elevated protein content of mitoribosomes did not evolve in response to rRNA reduction, but preceded it.
Further fMRI studies showed insular cortical responses during the anticipation of physical pain (Ploghaus et al., 1999) and unpleasant visual stimuli (Simmons et al., 2004), and in response to punishing feedback that preceded a reversal switch (O'Doherty et al., 2003).
