Similar results were found in M43: again, many PTNs (21 of 42, 50%) showed facilitation during observation, and most were also facilitated during execution (18 of 42, 42.9%).
In line with previous results, we have also shown facilitation effect of BT on cognition [2].
Studies from the embodiment perspective on language processing have shown facilitation or interference effects depending on the compatibility between verbal contents, concrete or abstract, and the motion of various parts of the body.
While this phenomenon has not been documented in vaccine viruses to the best of my knowledge, previous studies have certainly shown facilitation between unrelated viruses during concurrent infection (Cicin-Sain et al. 2005; Agrawal et al. 2002; Allan et al. 2007; Allan et al. 2000), thus a similar interaction between vaccine viruses is possible.
As shown in Figure 2, both groups showed facilitation for repetitions after another repetition in both RSI conditions.
Furthermore, some studies have also shown facilitation (greater accuracy and faster RTs) for recent positives relative to novel positives.
Thus, we predicted that our Euro-American participants would show facilitation of CSE during observation of the Euro-American actor due to a shared motor repertoire.
The regimen of minoxidil administration was selected from previous studies showing facilitation of hair re-growth in another model of alopecia [38].
In the present study, we chose an adapting duration to test for effects of gender, with the goal of maximizing the ability to detect differences between same- and difference-face aftereffects, preferably by showing facilitation for the former but suppression for the latter.
Further, in one third of the cells showing facilitation the receptive field modification was found to be quickly reversible (i.e., the post-behavioral task passive STRF was highly similar to the pre-behavioral one, see also [32]), suggesting that these effects could be due to transient selective attention type of phenomena.
