“…Those previous behavioral findings imply that scale-invariance is a form of self-similarity in that the holistic pattern can exist at multiple levels of magnification [and even across different memory systems, e.g., Maylor, 2002]. Here, our data affirmed the importance of the posterior parietal cortex in both immediate and long-term retrieval [Berryhill et al, 2011[Berryhill et al, , 2007 and further characterized its involvement in dealing with the spatial relations of objects within scenes [Bricolo et al, 2000;Buiatti et al, 2011]. Our data also demonstrated such short-/long-term correspondence exists in the precuneus/angular gyrus for temporal order retrieval (cf.…”

We investigated the neural correlates supporting three kinds of memory judgments after very short delays using naturalistic material. In two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, subjects watched short movie clips, and after a short retention (1.5–2.5 s), made mnemonic judgments about specific aspects of the clips. In Experiment 1, subjects were presented with two scenes and required to either choose the scene that happened earlier in the clip (“scene‐chronology”), or with a correct spatial arrangement (“scene‐layout”), or that had been shown (“scene‐recognition”). To segregate activity specific to seen versus unseen stimuli, in Experiment 2 only one probe image was presented (either target or foil). Across the two experiments, we replicated three patterns underlying the three specific forms of memory judgment. The precuneus was activated during temporal‐order retrieval, the superior parietal cortex was activated bilaterally for spatial‐related configuration judgments, whereas the medial frontal cortex during scene recognition. Conjunction analyses with a previous study that used analogous retrieval tasks, but a much longer delay (>1 day), demonstrated that this dissociation pattern is independent of retention delay. We conclude that analogous brain regions mediate task‐specific retrieval across vastly different delays, consistent with the proposal of scale‐invariance in episodic memory retrieval.

“…Cognitively, the contrast supports the view that rule-based mental logic and mental model-based reasoning both exist but rely on anatomically different systems (Goel, 2007). As far as mental model-based reasoning is concerned, Knauff (2013) has argued that the model itself is parietally located, and the existence of a qualitatively organised representation of objects in space in the right parietal lobe (Buiatti et al, 2011) supports this.…”

This article reviews the effects of lesions to the frontal cortex on the ability to carry out active thought, namely, to reason, think flexibly, produce strategies, and formulate and realize plans. We discuss how and why relevant neuropsychological studies should be carried out. The relationships between active thought and both intelligence and language are considered. The following basic processes necessary for effective active thought are reviewed: concentration, set switching, inhibiting potentiated responses, and monitoring and checking. Different forms of active thought are then addressed: abstraction, deduction, reasoning in well-structured and ill-structured problem spaces, novel strategy generation, and planning. We conclude that neuropsychological findings are valuable for providing information on systems rather than networks, especially information concerning prefrontal lateralization of function. We present a synthesis of the respective roles of the left and right lateral prefrontal cortex in active thought.

“…However, the current assessment of word and nonword reading was an exploratory study that was part of a necessarily brief battery of tests of right posterior functions being administered to patients operated on for cerebral tumour 2 to 6 days before testing (see, e.g., Buiatti et al, 2011;Shallice, Mussoni, D'Agostino, & Skrap, 2010). Such anatomically based case series of acute patients can isolate previously undescribed phenomena.…”

“…It has been argued by Bricolo, Shallice, Priftis, and Meneghello (2000) and Toraldo and Shallice (2004) that one aspect of spatial agnosia following right-hemisphere lesions involves the inability to qualitatively structure the relation between objects in space (see also Buiatti, Mussoni, Toraldo, Skrap, & Shallice, 2011). Thus P.A.O.…”

We studied the ability of patients with lesions arising from operation for an anterior or posterior (left or right) brain tumour to read a set of words and pronounceable nonwords. In line with previous works, we observed that damage to the left posterior or left anterior cortex can give rise to phonological alexia, where the reading performance of nonwords is affected more than that of words. More surprisingly, similar effects were found in the right posterior group. However, there were significant differences in the error types, for both complex and positional errors, between phonological alexic patients in the three location groups. The findings present difficulties for the position held by theorists of the triangle model that phonological alexia arises from impairments in the language production system or in a general-purpose orthographic-phonological translation system. They also pose new questions about the possible role of the right posterior cortex in letter sequence representation.
