Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

980
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Dynamic Equilibrium02:20

Dynamic Equilibrium

62.7K
A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Photoreceptors and Plant Responses to Light

28.5K
Light plays a significant role in regulating the growth and development of plants. In addition to providing energy for photosynthesis, light provides other important cues to regulate a range of developmental and physiological responses in plants.

¹H NMR of Labile Protons: Temporal Resolution

1.7K
Protons bonded to heteroatoms such as nitrogen and oxygen exhibit a range of chemical shift values. This is due to the varying degree of hydrogen bonding between the proton and the heteroatom in other molecules. The extent of hydrogen bonding affects the electron density around the proton, thereby giving different chemical shift values for the protons in the proton NMR spectrum.
The –OH proton in alcohols typically appears in the range of δ 2 to 5 ppm but can vary depending on the specific...

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

2.0K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Systems Neuroscience

Background:

  • Visual attention selects relevant information from cluttered scenes via a large-scale cortical network.
  • Previous research often lacks combined high spatial and temporal resolution, limiting understanding of attentional dynamics.
  • Electrocorticography (ECoG) offers mesoscopic insights with millisecond temporal resolution and precise anatomical localization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the temporal dynamics of attentional processing across the human visual system.
  • To probe a hierarchical top-down model of attention using spatial and temporal ECoG data.
  • To identify regional differences in attentional modulation strength and latency.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of high-frequency broadband (HFB) responses from 626 electrodes in 8 epilepsy patients during a spatial attention task.
  • Reconstruction of electrode locations using a probabilistic atlas of the human visual system.
  • Quantitative analysis of ECoG response fields (RFs) and attentional modulation effects.

Main Results:

  • HFB responses exhibited spatial selectivity and tuning, forming ECoG RFs within and outside the visual system.
  • RF widths and onset latencies systematically increased across the visual processing hierarchy, consistent with monkey studies.
  • Attentional modulation strength and latency varied regionally, with stronger, faster effects in posterior parietal and temporal areas compared to early visual cortex.
  • Weaker and delayed attention effects were observed in anterior parietal and frontal cortex, partially inconsistent with a strict top-down model.

Conclusions:

  • ECoG provides mesoscopic insights into the temporal dynamics of visual attention in the human brain.
  • Regional differences in attentional modulation dynamics exist across the visual processing hierarchy.
  • Findings partially challenge a simple hierarchical top-down model, suggesting complex interactions in the attention network.
