Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Cognition and Behavior

383
Social psychology examines the complex interplay between individual mental processes and social interactions. Historically, the field was divided into two domains: social behavior and social cognition. Researchers focusing on social behavior analyzed actions within social contexts, such as conformity, aggression, or cooperation. Meanwhile, social cognition researchers investigated how people perceive, interpret, and mentally represent their social environments. However, modern perspectives no...

Cognitive Learning01:21

Cognitive Learning

1.2K
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Summary

Cognitive networks in the brain can rapidly adjust their function to compensate for disruptions. Domain-general functions can help specialized functions recover, but not the reverse.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Human brain functions are organized into large-scale networks.
  • Mechanisms for network compensation following focal disruptions are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new perspective on the compensatory flexibility of cognitive networks.
  • To investigate the mechanisms of functional adaptation and reorganization after brain lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Demonstration of rapid changes in functional weight within cognitive networks.
  • Analysis of the asymmetry in compensatory potential between different network types.

Main Results:

  • Cognitive networks exhibit rapid plasticity, altering the contribution of different brain regions.
  • Domain-general cognitive functions can partially compensate for disruptions in specialized functions.
  • Specialized functions cannot compensate for disruptions in domain-general functions.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding network compensation requires considering both within- and across-network interactions.
  • This work offers novel insights into neural network reorganization and adaptation post-lesion.
