Human participants first judged the perceived contrast of incremental and decremental gratings superimposed on the patches. Next, we measured detection thresholds. Finally, fMRI activity was recorded in response to gratings on these patches. We found that incremental, but not the decremental gratings, appeared to have higher contrast when superimposed on the perceptually lighter patch compared to the darker. However, the thresholds were lower for both types of gratings superimposed on the lighter patch compared to the darker. Finally, using fMRI, we found that the activity in the primary visual cortex (V1) aligns well with the results of the detection task. These results suggest that partly distinct mechanisms underlie sensitivity and appearance and, further, that V1 plays an important role in sensitivity judgments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 109277"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145266151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first section, by Roediger, covers the period from 1957 to 1975, during which Tulving introduced the concepts and phenomena of subjective organization, the availability and accessibility of memories, the power of retrieval cues, the recognition failure of recallable words, the encoding specificity principle, and the distinction between episodic and semantic memory. In the second section, Schacter describes Tulving's growing interest in neuropsychology, his studies of amnesic patient K.C., and his involvement in the development of the Unit for Memory Disorders at the University of Toronto. During this time, Tulving introduced the concept of mental time travel and the idea that memory for the past underlies thoughts of the future. In the third section, Craik describes Tulving's discoveries using brain-imaging techniques, first employing positron emission tomography (PET) and then functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He describes research that gave rise to Tulving's idea that encoding of memories relies on the left prefrontal cortex and retrieval of memories on the right prefrontal cortex (the HERA theory, for Hemispheric Encoding Retrieval Asymmetry). Craik also briefly discusses the status of the HERA model and other aspects of Tulving's work later in his life. We conclude by noting Tulving's impact on the authors and the field, as well as a selective review of the awards Tulving received for his research.</p>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":" ","pages":"109274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145275488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One network overlapped with the dorsal and ventral attentional networks and included both known number sensitive regions in the Intraparietal Sulcus (IPS) along with motor planning associated regions (premotor and SMA) and visual attention associated regions (insula and anterior cingulate). The time course of activity in this network was consistent with it playing a role in processing the numerosity of the stimuli, forming a decision, and performing an associated motor response. A second network followed the time course of visual presentation of the number stimuli and involved visual cortex broadly, including regions associated with the number form area (NFA). A third network was sensitive to rule complexity, with greater activity at the time of decision for rules requiring more complex evaluation.

Here we distinguish active from passive short video usage and examine whether they differentially relate to the alerting, orienting, and executive components of attention and to large-scale resting-state network connectivity. Our results demonstrate that frequent active short video usage predicts reduced alerting efficiency and the functional connectivity between right ventral prefrontal cortex (PFCv) and right posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) mediates this association, attenuating the direct effect and implicating interactions between default mode network (DMN) and control network. While orienting exhibits a modest interaction among different usages in which higher passive usage confers greater orienting only among low-active users, and executive control shows no reliable association. These findings extend resource-control accounts of attention to the short-video context by identifying a specific, right-lateralized coupling between brain networks that links active usage to diminished alerting. Mechanistically, we identify a right-lateralized default-control coupling that mediates the link between active short video usage and reduced alerting, isolating a modifiable resting-state pathway. These results provide actionable metrics for intervention and platform design to mitigate attentional costs in high-exposure users, informing evidence-based guidance for education and policy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 109291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To capture reference frame utilization in a laboratory setting, naturalistic, immersive, open-environment settings in virtual reality are used to mimic real-world navigation. However, few studies have paired navigation through immersive environments with robust, standardized, post-session testing of reference frame utilization. Here, a novel, immersive, city-like, naturalistic virtual reality environment ('NavCity') was developed and paired with an accompanying NavCity Allocentric Representation Assessment (NARA) to quantify naturalistic navigation ability and effects of repeated environmental exposure on the formation of allocentric reference frames within a singular experimental session. The NavCity task provides an open-source, standardized, editable, accessible, virtual reality paradigm for assessing naturalistic navigation ability, and the accompanying NARA serves to promote standardization of measures aiming to quantify allocentric knowledge recall. Our central hypothesis is that we will observe within-session improvement in navigation performance after repeated NavCity exposure, which will scale with stronger recall of allocentric representations. Results support this hypothesis and show that within-session NavCity improvements are associated with the assessment of formed allocentric representations tied to the navigated environment. Importantly, this study addresses the need for standardized assessments that measure transformations of first-person, egocentric navigation experiences to third-person, allocentric knowledge using an open-source, naturalistic tool. Immediate next steps are to characterize effects of aging on NavCity and NARA performance to provide understanding of aging-related deficits in allocentric reference frame utilization in older adults.</p>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":" ","pages":"109290"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145225859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It remains unclear if routine clinical resting-state EEG can be used to detect source-level differences between children with dyslexia and controls. Using retrospective data, we investigated 70 children with dyslexia and 50 typically developing controls. We analyzed 50 s of awake resting-state routine clinical EEG, calculating power and two FC metrics after source-reconstruction. Additionally, correlations between power or FC and IQ, reading, and spelling performance were analyzed. Children with dyslexia had a decrease in theta FC in left temporo-parieto-occipital regions and an increase in alpha FC in left fronto-temporo-parietal regions. Decreased theta FC was observed for right parieto-occipital regions and an increase of alpha FC in right inferior fronto-temporal regions. Furthermore, children with dyslexia demonstrated lower power in delta and theta within the left parieto-occipital regions. No significant correlations were found between the EEG metrics and cognitive performance scores. Nevertheless, our findings contribute evidence of neurophysiological abnormalities at rest in regions relevant for visual attention and orthographic processing in dyslexia, reinforcing the possible role of oscillatory dynamics in reading and spelling development, and suggest the feasibility of source-reconstructed clinical routine EEG data to inform clinicians about oscillatory alterations in children with dyslexia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19279,"journal":{"name":"Neuropsychologia","volume":"219 ","pages":"Article 109289"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145186361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to the DLPFC, the posterior parietal cortex (PPC)—involved in integrating sensory, cognitive, and motor signals—may also contribute to driving behavior. This study investigated the effects of anodal tDCS over the DLPFC and PPC on simulated driving performance. Participants completed a follow-the-lead-car task before and after stimulation, with performance measured using brake reaction time and its standard deviation, standard deviation of lateral position, percentage of speed limit violations, inter-vehicle distance, and the variability (i.e., root mean square) of inter-vehicle distance. We hypothesized that stimulation of either region would improve driving behavior. Results showed that anodal tDCS over the PPC significantly reduced the variability of inter-vehicle distance, suggesting enhanced driving stability. This effect likely reflects the PPC's involvement in spatial attention and motor integration—key processes for maintaining stable following distance. No significant improvements were observed in other performance metrics or following DLPFC stimulation.
