Neural basis of mental scanning of a topographic representation built from a textE Mellet
CNRS UMR 6995, Université de Caen and Université Paris V, BP 5227, 14074 Caen Cedex, France
Cereb Cortex 12:1322-30. 2002..These results suggest that although both tasks involved visuo-spatial internal representation, a trace of the learning modality remained present in the brain...
Left hemisphere lateralization for language in right-handers is controlled in part by familial sinistrality, manual preference strength, and head sizeNathalie Tzourio-Mazoyer
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle, Unité Mixte de Recherche 6232, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique France, Commissariat a l Energie Atomique, France
J Neurosci 30:13314-8. 2010..These results demonstrate that the left hemisphere dominance for language in right-handers is a variable controlled, in part, by a number of specific factors, including FS, MPS, and head size...
Reopening the mental imagery debate: lessons from functional anatomyE Mellet
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle, UPRES EA 2127, Caen Cedex, 14074, France
Neuroimage 8:129-39. 1998..This body of recent results indicates that there is no unique mental imagery cortical network; rather, it reflects the high degree of interaction between mental imagery and other cognitive functions...
First came the trees, then the forest: developmental changes during childhood in the processing of visual local-global patterns according to the meaningfulness of the stimuliNicolas Poirel
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle, Unite Mixte de Recherche 6194, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Commissariat a l Energie Atomique, Universite de Caen and Universite Paris Descarte
Dev Psychol 44:245-53. 2008..However, in younger children, this interference existed even when objects were present at all levels, suggesting that the strategy used to perform the comparison task also varied according to age...
Impact of the virtual reality on the neural representation of an environmentEmmanuel Mellet
CI NAPS, UMR 6232, CNRS, CEA, Universite de Caen, Caen, France
Hum Brain Mapp 31:1065-75. 2010..This demonstrated that a neural fingerprint distinguishing virtual from real learning persists when subjects use a mental representation of the learnt environment with equivalent performances...
When a schizophrenic deficit becomes a reasoning advantageEmmanuel Mellet
UMR 6194, CNRS, CEA, Université de Caen and Université Paris Descartes Paris 5, France
Schizophr Res 84:359-64. 2006..This finding demonstrates that there are some problem solving situations where disregarding contextual information, a cognitive deficit that usually impairs schizophrenic patients gives them a cognitive advantage over healthy controls...
Functional anatomy of high-resolution visual mental imageryE Mellet
GIN GIP Cyceron, BP 5229, 14074 Caen Cedex France
J Cogn Neurosci 12:98-109. 2000..These results provide strong evidence that imagery based on verbal descriptions can recruit regions known to be engaged in high-order visual processing...
What is right-hemisphere contribution to phonological, lexico-semantic, and sentence processing? Insights from a meta-analysisM Vigneau
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle, UMR CI NAPS 6232, CNRS CEA, GIP Cyceron, Caen, France
Neuroimage 54:577-93. 2011..These results are consistent with split-brain studies that found that the RH has a limited lexicon, with no phonological abilities but active involvement in the processing of context...
Functional asymmetries revealed in visually guided saccades: an FMRI studyLaurent Petit
Centre for Imaging, Neurosciences and Applications to Pathologies, UMR6232 CNRS CEA, Boulevard Henri Becquerel, BP 5229, 14074 Caen Cedex, France
J Neurophysiol 102:2994-3003. 2009....
Effect of familial sinistrality on planum temporale surface and brain tissue asymmetriesNathalie Tzourio-Mazoyer
Centre d Imagerie Neurosciences et Applications aux Pathologies UMR6232 CNRS, CEA, Universite de Caen Basse Normandie, Caen, France
Cereb Cortex 20:1476-85. 2010..These results add to the increasing body of evidence suggesting multiple and somewhat independent mechanisms for the inheritance of hand and language lateralization...
Right hemisphere dominance for auditory attention and its modulation by eye position: an event related fMRI studyLaurent Petit
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle, UMR 6194 CNRS CEA University of Caen and University Paris Descartes, GIP Cyceron, Bd H Becquerel, BP 5229, 14074 Caen Cedex, France
Restor Neurol Neurosci 25:211-25. 2007..Secondly, we examined whether a congruency or a discrepancy between audio-spatial and visuo-spatial cued attentional resources may influence the activity elicited by an auditory selective attention task...
Regional cerebral blood flow increases during wakeful rest following cognitive trainingBernard Mazoyer
Centre d Imagerie Neurosciences et Applications aux Pathologies, CI NAPS UMR6232, CNRS, CEA I2BM, GIP Cyceron, France
Brain Res Bull 80:133-8. 2009..These results indicate that the brain default mode is a dynamic state during which context dependent local increases of cerebral blood flow may occur on a short-term, likely for the consolidation of newly acquired knowledge...
A common neural system is activated in hearing non-signers to process French sign language and spoken FrenchCyril Courtin
GIN, CI NAPS, UMR6232, CNRS, CEA, France
Brain Res Bull 84:75-87. 2011..As a whole, the present results support the theory of a gestural origin of language...
The resting state questionnaire: An introspective questionnaire for evaluation of inner experience during the conscious resting statePascal Delamillieure
Centre d Imagerie Neurosciences et Applications aux Pathologies, UMR6232 CNRS, CEA, Universités de Caen et Paris Descartes, GIP Cyceron, Bd Henri Becquerel, BP5229, 14074 Caen, France
Brain Res Bull 81:565-73. 2010..This tool relies on normative data acquired from a 180-participant sample balanced for sex and handedness...
What does the nature of the stimuli tell us about the Global Precedence Effect?Nicolas Poirel
Groupe d Imagerie Neurofonctionnelle GIN UMR 6194, CNRS, CEA, University of Caen and University of Paris V, France
Acta Psychol (Amst) 127:1-11. 2008..These results suggest that the GPE involves both "sensory mechanisms" (responsible for the global advantage) and "cognitive mechanisms" (responsible for the interference effect)...
