The objectives of the study were to investigate neuromorphological evidence for Witkin’s field-independent cognitive style with experimental descriptive studies in subjects with different field-independent cognitive styles and to determine the associated or related underlying neuromorphology. The results demonstrate the existence of neuro morphological bases in the left inferior parietal lobe cortex, which exhibits a pattern of neural connections that are bilaterally related to cortical areas of the inferior frontal gyrus and the anterior and midcingulate cortex. It is proposed that the visual flow presented is not unique due to the limitations of neuroimaging studies and the high variability of the anatomical and histological patterns of the left inferior parietal lobe cortex.","PeriodicalId":35684,"journal":{"name":"Gaceta Medica de Caracas","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45426571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
