'Simon B. Eickhoff'] Many brain regions have been defined, but a comprehensive formalization of each region’s function in relation to human behavior is still lacking. Current knowledge comes from various fields, which have diverse conceptions of ‘functions’. We briefly review these fields and outline how the…

Numerous brain imaging studies identified a domain-general or “multiple-demand” (MD) activation pattern accompanying many tasks and may play a core role in cognitive control. Though this finding is well established, the limited spatial localization provided by traditional imaging methods precluded a consensus regarding…

In this article, we argue that motor and cognitive processes are functionally related and most likely share a similar evolutionary history. This is supported by clinical and neural data showing that some brain regions integrate both motor and cognitive functions. In addition, we also argue that cognitive processes…

Neuroscience aims to understand how the structural and functional organization of the brain relates to behavior. Structural studies at the cellular level establish the neurobiological framework for understanding function. Structure is only part of the story however, with molecular and functional information needed for…

'Jonathan Downar' 'Karen D. Davis'] The frontal pole corresponds to Brodmann area (BA) 10, the largest single architectonic area in the human frontal lobe. Generally, BA10 is thought to contain two or three subregions that subserve broad functions such as multitasking, social cognition, attention, and episodic memory.…

'Roy V. Sillitoe'] The brain contains a large diversity of unique cell types that use specific genetic programs to control development and instruct the intricate wiring of sensory, motor, and cognitive brain regions. In addition to their cellular diversity and specialized connectivity maps, each region’s dedicated…

The goal of the current study was to examine the pattern of anatomical connectivity of the human frontal pole so as to inform theories of function of the frontal pole, perhaps one of the least understood region of the human brain. Rather than simply parcellating the frontal pole into subregions, we focused on examining…

'Stephan Ulmer' 'Michael D. Noseworthy'] The human brain is an exceptionally complex organ that is comprised of billions of neurons. Therefore, when a traumatic event such as a concussion occurs, somatic, cognitive, behavioral, and sleep impairments are the common outcome. Each concussion is unique in the sense that…

Brodmann area 8 (BA8) is traditionally defined as the prefrontal region of the human cerebrum just anterior to the premotor cortices and enveloping most of the superior frontal gyrus. Early studies have suggested the frontal eye fields are situated at its most caudal aspect, causing many to consider BA8 as primarily an…

The issue of functional localization in the human cerebral cortex has journeyed from neuroanatomical phenomenology to hypothesis-driven neuropsychology and back. Classical neuroanatomists considered brain structure and function as one; they studied morphology from a histophysiological perspective, not as a mere…

New advances in structural neuroimaging have revealed the intricate and extensive connections within the brain, data which have informed a number of ambitious projects such as the mapping of the human connectome. Elucidation of the structural connections of the brain, at both the macro and micro levels, promises new…

Mainstream cognitive neuroscience aims to build mechanistic explanations of behavior by mapping abilities described at the organismal level via the subpersonal level of computation onto specific brain networks. We provide an integrative review of these commitments and their mismatch with empirical research findings.…

'Antonio Melcarne' 'Francesco Zenga' 'Diego Garbossa'] When discussing “mentalization,” we refer to a very special ability that only humans and few species of great apes possess: the ability to think about themselves and to represent in their mind their own mental state, attitudes, and beliefs and those of others. In…

This paper considers the contribution that observations of neurodegenerative diseases can make to our understanding of the ‘mind-brain’ relationship. The theoretical context in which cognitive models have been implemented by evidence from brain-damaged patients and the contribution of neuroimaging are briefly…

primates’ parietal lobe: A review História, citoarquitetura e neuropsicologia do lobo parietal de primatas humanos e não humanos – uma revisão Authors: ['Tales Alexandre Aversi-Ferreira' 'Mariana Ferreira Pereira de Araújo' 'Danielly Bandeira Lopes' 'Hisao Nishijo'] This strict localizationism had and still has its…

One of the central goals of cognitive neuroscience is to understand how structure relates to function. Over the past century, clinical studies on patients with lesions have provided key insights into the relationship between brain areas and behavior. Since the early efforts for characterization of cognitive functions…
