Person-selective ATL clusters were functionally connected with the brain's wider social cognition network.
The second option is that the anterior temporal lobes are domain-specific for person knowledge regardless of the conceptual processing context, and also strongly functionally connected to the wider social cognition circuit.
Finally, and perhaps most convincingly, using independent, non-task-related data we observed functional connectivity between the person-selective clusters in the anterior temporal lobes and the wider social cognition network, a finding that strongly supports our interpretation that the activation observed in this area reflects its role in social cognition, not encoding effort.
The first option is that the anterior temporal lobes are domain-specific for person knowledge during sentence comprehension, but the same tissue is domain-general in other task contexts (perhaps after consolidation from the hippocampus to the neocortex), and also exhibiting strong functional connectivity with the wider social cognition network.
In addition, because the distribution of normative scores tends to the upper limit, data from 158 consecutive patients with acquired brain injury undergoing rehabilitation were included in the analysis so that the effect of age and education could be viewed across the wider construct of cognition (that is, from those without cognitive impairment to those with severe levels of cognitive impairment).
If paying Paul always requires robbing Peter, we can't expect drugs to produce a general, cortex-wide expansion of cognition.
Although our primary results demonstrated network-wide relationships with cognition, we additionally conducted exploratory analyses of the topography of correlations with cognition in each network.
We proposed that these deficits were part of a wider deficit in social cognition that may contribute to the common difficulties patients experienced in social interactions (Schrag et al., 2003).
This inhibition system has wide-ranging influences on cognition, behavior, and affect.
The association of harm avoidance and parkinsonism, was robust and remained significant after accounting for related personality traits and psychosocial factors, global cognition, a wide range of late-life activities and chronic health conditions.
