Furthermore, we hypothesized that functional connectivity of the striatal/midbrain structures with the MTL, in response to the processing of unexpected (compared to expected) information, would explain the enhanced learning.
Here, we explore the neuronal processes that underlie the reorganisation and restitution of linguistic and communicative function related to successful therapy in chronic post-stroke aphasia, by measuring the neurophysiological brain responses elicited in response to the processing of linguistic stimuli before and following ILAT.
A similar finding was reported by Briesemeister et al. (2009), who showed an increased dilation of the pupil in response to the higher processing demands of pseudohomophones (i.e., nonwords that are pronounced like an existing word), as compared with the processing of real words.
In response to the cold deformation processing we observed significant changes in the scale and morphology of grains, defect content, as well as of crystallographic texture.
Four ad-hoc functional constraints, two sub-cortical (FS14 at brainstem and FS16 at thalamic level) and two cortical (FS20 radial and FS22 tangential parietal sources), were used to extract the activity of successive stages of somatosensory information processing in response to the separate left and right median nerve electric stimulation.
In this context, our results might be understood as indicating that the prickle-evoking visual stimuli (associated with unpleasant sensations in the nose) evoke enhanced stimulus processing in response to the specific salience of these stimuli for our subjects.
Based on the existing literature (see Introduction), this suggests stronger episodic retrieval in the right hemisphere along with stronger visual processing in response to the naming mismatch.
Instead, our findings are more consistent with the view that people engaged distinct types of self-referential processing in response to the different test questions, in an attempt to strategically constrain retrieval to either conceptual or agentic self-referential information.
Two of its vestiges are the Bank of North Dakota, in Bismarck, which was founded in 1919, the only state-owned bank in the country, and a state-owned mill, which was built in Grand Forks, in the early twenties, in response to the predatory ways of the Minneapolis grain-processing oligopolists.
Upregulation of genes involved in antigen processing and presentation may occur in response to the activation and proliferation of autoreactive pathogenic T cells in T1D patients.
However, upon considering the considerable interindividual variability in signal strengths (i.e., high standard errors, see Figure 1) and the non-significant (relative to baseline) (de)activations in the dyscalculic group in response to number processing, the latter interaction should be interpreted cautiously.
