Correlates of Cortical Pain Processing - A ReviewAbstract: Pain is the result of complex neuronal activities within the brain but not a simple result of nociception. Pain results from an interaction of diverse neuronal modules located in different brain ...
Abstract: Neuroplasticity research in connection with mental disorders has recently bridged the gap between basic neurobiology and applied neuropsychology. A non-invasive method in the gerbil (Meriones unguiculus) - the restricted versus enriched breading ...
Fragestellung: Beschreibung neurobiologischer Effekte und Wirkmechanismen der Achtsamkeit bzw. Achtsamkeitsmeditation (current state). Methodik: Umfassende, selektive Literaturrecherche in internationalen und nationalen Datenbanken. Ergebnisse: ...
Zusammenfassung: Die Dynamik der Gedächtnisleistung von Patienten mit medialer Temporallappenepilepsie nach selektiver Amygdalahippokampektomie (AHE) wurde in zwei Studien untersucht. 48 Patienten beurteilten in einer katamnestischer Befragung ihr ...
On the Economy and Effectiveness of Prism Adaptation as Therapy for Unilateral NeglectAbstract: The present study investigates whether the prism-adaptation therapy is effective in treating patients with visuospatial neglect. Three groups of six neglect ...
Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation: Neuromodulation by Transcranial current Stimulation and its Effects in Neuropsychological DisordersTrancranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate neuronal activity by increasing (anodal tDCS) or decreasing ...
In the field of cognitive neuroscience, understanding the functional, temporal, and anatomical characteristics of multilingual speech processing has previously been a topic of intense investigations. In this article, I will attempt to describe how the ...
Abstract. Musical activity has been found to drive plasticity in brain areas involved in the process of playing a musical instrument. The present article reviews how musical activity influences the brain structures ...
Berufsmusiker, insbesondere wenn sie in Orchestern musizieren, die klassische Musik aufführen, repräsentieren eine besondere Berufsgruppe. Um ein beim Publikum und den Kollegen akzeptiertes Mindestmaß an Spielleistung zu erzielen, müssen sie ihr Talent ...
The Plastic Human BrainOne of the most important findings of recent neuroscientific research is the discovery of the plastic nature of the human brain. Brain plasticity happens on the structural and/or functional level. Functional plasticity describes ...
Biological correlates of resilience in childhood and adolescenceAbstract. Biological correlates of resilience have only started to be studied in recent years. This paper presents a review on current empirical findings; we report gender-specific aspects ...
Zusammenfassung. Obwohl sich die Entwicklungspsychologie der Lebensspanne seit etwa 15 Jahren in der Sportwissenschaft als theoretische Rahmenkonzeption durchgesetzt hat, liegen kaum empirische Studien vor, die auf dieser Grundlage theoriegeleitet die ...
Abstract. Sensitive periods in development are widespread in nature. Many psychologists and biologists regard sensitive periods as byproducts of developmental processes. Although this view may be correct in some cases, it is unlikely to be ...
Abstract. This paper reviews adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms of cortical plasticity in patients suffering from peripheral facial palsy. As the peripheral facial nerve is a pure motor nerve, a facial nerve lesion is causing an exclusive ...
Abstract. During everyday experiences, people sometimes close their eyes to better understand spoken words, to listen to music, or when touching textures and objects. A plausible explanation for this observation is that a reversible loss ...
