Brain and Mind: Cognitive Brain Research

Section 1: Attention and Action . 1. Orienting of spatial attention - Its reflexive, compensatory, and voluntary mechanisms (O. Hikosaka, S. Miyauchi, S. Shimojo). 2. Stimulus-driven facilitation and inhibition of visual information processing in environmental and retinotopic representations of space (S. Shimojo, Y. Tanaka, K. Watanabe). Attention control: Explorations of the work of an executive controller (D. Gopher). Section 2: Multiple Mechanisms of Memory and Learning . 4. The acquisition of perceptual and motor skills: A memory system in the adult human cortex (A. Karni). 5. Neurological basis of skill learning (A. Yamadori, T. Yoshida, E. Mori, H. Yamashita). 6. Functional imaging of human visual recognition (N. Kanwisher, M.M. Chun, J. McDermott, P.J. Ledden). 7. Associative and perceptual learning and the concept of memory systems (D. Gaffan). 8. Feedback signal from medial temporal lobe mediates visual associative mnemonic codes of inferotemporal neurons (Y. Miyashita, H. Okuno, W. Tokuyama, T. Ihara, K.I. Nakajima). Section 3: Egocentric and Environmental Space Representation . 9. Egocentric perception through interaction among many sensory systems (M. Ohmi). 10. Surface representation in the visual system (H. Komatsu, I. Murakami, M. Kinoshita). 11. Spatial representations for action in parietal cortex (C.L. Colby, J. Duhamel). Section 4: Coding of Motor Sequences . 12. Multiple cortical motor areas and temporal sequencing of movements (J. Tanji, K. Shima, H. Mushiake). 13. Mental transformations in the motor cortex (G. Pellizzer). 14. Spatial reasoning in the monkey (E. Procyk, J.P. Joseph). 15. Computational study on the neural mechanism of sequential pattern memory (M. Morita). Section 5: Frontal Lobe Function . 16. Representation of object-centered space in the primate frontal lobe (C.R. Olson, S.N. Gettner). 17. Functional modular organization of the primate prefrontal cortex for representing working memory process (T. Sawaguchi). 18. Studies on integrative functions of the human frontal association cortex with MEG (K. Sasaki, A. Nambu, T. Tsujimoto, R. Matsuzaki, S. Kyuhou, H. Gemba). 19. The role of the prefrontal cortex in higher cognitive functions (C. Frith, R. Dolan).
