As in many evolved brain systems, good-enough results are achieved by combining different sorts of information requiring similar treatment (here, minimally, attention of a kind).
Taken together, these findings indicate that many of the brain systems that are routinely implicated in task-related fMRI experiments can also be defined on the basis of their ongoing spontaneous activities, or as distinct 'resting-state networks' (RSNs).
In sum, mental imagery activates many of the brain systems involved in equivalent forms of perception, and when the imagery is emotional in content brain systems involved in processing emotional information, in much the same way as with perceived events.
However, research on this gene, known as FOXP2, makes it clear that it is not a gene for language rather, it is a gene that regulates the activity of other genes, having an effect on the development of many organs, including brain systems important for speech and language (Fisher, 2005).
Autism appears to result from developmental factors that affect many or all functional brain systems, and to disturb the timing of brain development more than the final product.
Asperger syndrome appears to result from developmental factors that affect many or all functional brain systems, as opposed to localized effects.
The individual tests that are included into the NES reflect the concerted action of many neurobehavioral mechanisms or brain systems affected [ 49].
This work may also have more general implications for processing object attributes in the auditory, visual and somatosensory systems, where many brain regions maintain the topographic organization of information arriving from the sensory periphery.
Because vision is an excellent model system for many brain functions, these findings should be applicable to many aspects of systems and cognitive neuroscience.
