Abstract In both Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and MPTP-treated non-human primates, there is a profound neuronal degeneration of the intralaminar centromedian/parafascicular (CM/Pf) thalamic complex. Although this thalamic pathology has long been established in PD (and other neurodegenerative disorders), the impact of CM/Pf cell loss on the integrity of the thalamo-striatal glutamatergic system and its regulatory functions upon striatal neurons remain unknown. In the striatum,...

Brain Sciences, Vol. 9, Pages 305: Attention Modulates Electrophysiological Responses to Simultaneous Music and Language Syntax Processing Brain Sciences doi: 10.3390/brainsci9110305 Authors: Lee Jung Loui Music and language are hypothesized to engage the same neural resources, particularly at the level of syntax processing. Recent reports suggest that attention modulates the shared processing of music and language, but the time-course of the effects of attention on music and...

Abstract Being able to discriminate between what originates from ourselves and what originates from others is critical for efficient interactions with our social environment. However, it remains an open question whether self-other distinction is a domain-general mechanism that is involved in various social-cognitive functions or whether specific ‘self-other distinction mechanisms’ exist for each of these functions. On the neural level, there is evidence that self-other distinction...
