Because the Ptc occurs after the N2pc component, it is likely that the Ptc reflects processing subsequent to target identification and may reflect processes used to individuate or isolate the target once it is identified.
The N2pc may reflect processes related to both detecting target related features [11] and suppressing distractor processing [9].
This activation may reflect processes directing spatial attention to the stimulated body region in order to more accurately evaluate the relatively weak, low pain stimulus.
Specifically, when the target and decoy are near each other, the Ptc component may reflect processes used to individuate or isolate the target once it is identified.
Moreover, hemodynamic responses are sluggish; therefore GCM results may reflect processes that follow or precede the actual task performance, which in our case lasted only several hundreds of milliseconds, within trials of several seconds.
The synaptic plasticity responses described above may reflect processes underlying hippocampal encoding of novel spatial information.
Moreover, left lrPFC recruitment for PM compared with OG blocks may reflect processes involved in maintaining and/or implementing delayed intentions in the context of distracting OG activity.
This may be more representative of what occurs in healthy individuals, while the suppression of stimulated PBMC may reflect processes that occur in individuals with an activated immune system.
Circulating molecules derive from tissues throughout the body, so changes at one site as a cancer develops might be too small to be detectable in the circulation, or circulating levels may reflect processes elsewhere that are unrelated to cancer.
We therefore reasoned that rather, theta power modulation may reflect processes that are either directly driven by the sensory input (Bottom-Up processes) or induced by an internal state of the brain that is modulated by the saliency of the social stimulus (Top-Down processes).
