Reflective self-awareness and conscious states: PET evidence for a common midline parietofrontal coreTroels W Kjaer
John F. Kennedy Institute, DK-2600 Glostrup, Denmark
Neuroimage 17:1080-6. 2002....
ADHD: increased dopamine receptor availability linked to attention deficit and low neonatal cerebral blood flowHans C Lou
Centre of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience and PET Centre, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark
Dev Med Child Neurol 46:179-83. 2004..High dopamine receptor availability was predicted by low neonatal CBF, supporting the hypothesis of cerebral ischaemia as a contributing factor in infants susceptible to ADHD...
Parietal cortex and representation of the mental SelfHans C Lou
Magnetic Brain Stimulation Laboratory, Department of Biological Psychiatry, New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY 10032, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:6827-32. 2004..This network is strikingly similar to the network of the resting conscious state, suggesting that self-monitoring is a core function in resting consciousness...
Recurrent activity in higher order, modality non-specific brain regions: a Granger causality analysis of autobiographic memory retrievalHans C Lou
Center of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark
PLoS ONE 6:e22286. 2011..Our results confirm the hypothesis that stimulation may enhance causal interaction between higher order, modality non-specific brain regions, exemplified in a network of autobiographical memory retrieval...
Self-specific processing in the default network: a single-pulse TMS studyHans C Lou
Division of Brain Stimulation and Therapeutic Modulation, New York State Psychiatric Institute, New York, NY, USA
Exp Brain Res 207:27-38. 2010..Together with our previous work, these results provide evidence for a self-specific processing system in which midline and lateral inferior parietal cortices, as elements of the default network, play a role in ongoing self-awareness...
Coherence in consciousness: paralimbic gamma synchrony of self-reference links conscious experiencesHans C Lou
CFIN, Aarhus University Hospital, DK 8000 Aarhus, Denmark
Hum Brain Mapp 31:185-92. 2010..The observed coupling between the neural events in conscious experience may explain the sense of unity of consciousness and the severe symptoms associated with paralimbic dysfunction...
The mental selfHans C Lou
Department of Functionally Integrative Neuroscience, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus C, DK 8000, Denmark
Prog Brain Res 150:197-204. 2005..We found a decreased efficiency of retrieval of self-judgment compared to the judgment of best friend. This shows that the integrity of the function of precuneus is essential for self-reference, but not for reference to others...
Methylphenidate-evoked changes in striatal dopamine correlate with inattention and impulsivity in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorderPedro Rosa-Neto
Center for Functionally Integrative Neuroscience, Aarhus University and PET Center, Aarhus University Hospitals, , Building 10, Aarhus C 8000, Denmark
Neuroimage 25:868-76. 2005..04). In conclusion, the results link inattention and impulsivity with sensitivity of brain DA receptor availability to an MP challenge, corroborating the hypothesis that MP serves to potentiate decreased DA neurotransmission in ADHD...
Cortical deactivation induced by visual stimulation in human slow-wave sleepAlfred Peter Born
Danish Research Centre for Magnetic Resonance, Hvidovre Hospital, Glostrup, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark
Neuroimage 17:1325-35. 2002..Possible mechanisms for the paradoxical response pattern during sleep include an active inhibition of the visual cortex or a disruption of an energy-consuming process...
Increased dopamine tone during meditation-induced change of consciousnessTroels W Kjaer
John F Kennedy Institute, Gl Landevej 7, 2600, Glostrup, Denmark
Brain Res Cogn Brain Res 13:255-9. 2002..To our knowledge this is the first time in vivo evidence has been provided for regulation of conscious states at a synaptic level...
