However, it is often [5], [6] assumed that along with the border information, a neural channel sensitive to the absolute luminance level exists.
Our results extend previous findings showing that prefrontal cortical NE is a neural system sensitive to the affective intensity of stimuli, irrespectively of their valence.
These findings provide initial evidence concerning the neural mechanisms sensitive to individual variations in trait anxiety and WM performance, which dissociate the detrimental impact of emotion distraction and the engagement of mechanisms to cope with distracting emotions.
Collectively, the present study provides initial evidence concerning the neural mechanisms sensitive to individual variations in trait anxiety and cognitive performance, which reflects both the detrimental impact of emotion distraction and the engagement of mechanisms to cope with distracting emotions.
In conclusion, we hypothesized that NE in medial prefrontal cortex (mpFC) is a neural system sensitive to the affective intensity of stimuli, irrespectively of valence and that differently salient stimuli induce a graded activation of prefrontal noradrenergic transmission engaging it in motivational salience attribution only when stronger activation is induced by highly salient stimuli.
In the next section, we will review previous ERP research, outline specific testing paradigms, and suggest what neural markers sensitive to ER could be studied within the adolescent population.
Neural systems sensitive to speech and song were compared in low-functioning autistic and age-matched control children using passive auditory stimulation during functional magnetic resonance and diffusion tensor imaging.
Indeed, according to predictive theories of perception, neural units sensitive to predictions (i.e. RE voxels) and prediction error (RS voxels) differ in their connectivity, with error signals flowing forward in a bottom-up fashion, and predictions fed back from higher cortical stages in a top-down manner.
This triangular scan pattern strategy is fully consistent with previous eye movements findings [1], [4] [7], [22], [23] and also in line with recent neuroimaging results on Western Caucasian observers showing a tuning in the neural face-sensitive regions for visual stimuli containing more elements in the upper part [24].
