An alternative interpretation could be that the higher amplitude following the Nc indicates a larger effort for processing objects after hearing one's own name as a result of integrating the own name with the visually perceived objects.
Rats in the LEC lesion group, however, showed no preference for novel versus familiar object-context associations (t(12) = −1.297, P = 0.219) demonstrating a critical role for the LEC in processing objects in context.
Functional neuroimaging has shown that separate regions of the lateral occipital cortex are associated with processing objects (Malach et al., 1995) and faces (Gauthier et al., 2000).
Representing and processing object concepts is a major challenge for human perception and cognition.
Parallel to activity in nodes processing object-related impulses we found activity in key cerebral regions responsible for subjective assessment and validation.
The model captures the basic organization of the (para)hippocampal regions in a simplified manner (Figure 1): two input modules, labeled 'object' and 'context', represent the perirhinal and parahippocampal cortices, processing object [41] and spatial information [42] respectively.
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.
That is, when attentional resources were diverted toward processing object-specific features at the expense of conceptual encoding, this may have produced greater activity in perirhinal cortex for objects subsequently associated with failed source recollection.
Electrophysiological evidence thus suggests that the CA1 hippocampal subfield is critically involved in processing object-in-place memory [53], however no study to date has examined the effects of selective CA1 lesions on the object-in-place task as described in this review (see Fig. 1C).
In contrast, we hypothesized that processing object-related movements guided by hand object relationships would preferentially rely on PMv, over and above the contributions of this region to controlling arm and hand movements in space (Ehrsson et al. 2000; Grol et al. 2007; Verhagen et al. 2008).
For example, Ortigue et al. (2010) reported several distinct stages of action intention processing using EEG, namely a stage of automatic bilateral activation in posterior areas around 100 120 ms, followed by the left posterior/inferior parietal activation for processing object semantics around 120 200 ms, and concluded by context-dependent fronto-parietal activation between 200 and 500 ms.
