LONI | LONIR | Resources | Protocols | Inferior Frontal Cortex   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The IFC includes three subregions, pars opercularis, pars triangularis, and pars orbitalis, which can be identified using the vertical and horizontal rami of the sylvian fissure (Figure 1). When the middle frontal gyrus is connected to the inferior frontal cortex at the pars opercularis or pars triangularis, the inferior frontal sulcus is not clearly defined. When the middle frontal gyrus is connected to the pars opercularis, a geometric line is drawn connecting the two points of the inferior frontal sulcus on either side of the junction of the middle frontal gyrus with the inferior frontal gyrus (Figure 8). www.loni.ucla.edu /NCRR/Protocols/MaskingRegions_3.shtml   (611 words)

Last check: 2007-10-29) The pars opercularis occupies the posterior part of the inferior frontal gyrus. The present study investigated the morphology and morphometry of the pars opercularis in 108 normal adult human cerebral hemispheres by means of magnetic resonance imaging. A probability map of the pars opercularis was constructed by averaging its location and extent in each individual normalized brain into Talairach space to aid in localization of activity changes in functional neuroimaging studies. www.ingentaconnect.com /content/bsc/ejn/1999/00000011/00000009/art00005   (256 words)

Broca's area - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki   (Site not responding.

PET and functional MRI have found decreases in activity in the Broca's area in stuttering.There is greater activation of the right hemisphere homologue of the Broca's area (area of Ross) which is believed to be a compensatory response to the hypoactivity in the Broca's area proper. psychology.wikia.com /wiki/Broca's_area   (884 words)

Functional segregation within pars opercularis of the inferior frontal gyrus: evidence from fMRI studies of imitation and action observation.

What is Broca's Area? The Pars triangularis is located in the anterior portion of Broca's area. The Pars opercularis is located in the posterior region of Broca's area. This conclusion has been drawn because the Pars opercularis of Broca's area is located near areas that are related to motor skills. www.wisegeek.com /what-is-brocas-area.htm   (433 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The only difference between task 1 and task 2 is that subjects have to "hold" the noun phrase the juice in a memory buffer longer in task 1 than in task 2. As shown in Figure 1, the only region that was significantly more active in task 1 than task 2 was part of Broca's area (the pars opercularis, p <.008), suggesting that this region is the site of the memory buffer used to process sentences with filler-gap relationships. In task 3, subjects judged acceptable center-embedded and right-branching sentences, and structurally identical sentences that were unacceptable because they contained a pseudo-word (e.g., the center-embedded sentence *The juice that the child mulved stained the rug and the right-branching sentence *The child spilled the juice that mulved the rug.). ruccs.rutgers.edu /~karin/neuroling.html   (317 words)

Basal ganglia - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki Some of these nuclei may be further subdivided: for example, the striatum is separated into the putamen, caudate nucleus, and nucleus accumbens; the substantia nigra is generally divided into the pars compacta (SNc), pars reticulata (SNr), and pars lateralis (SNl). Of particular interest is the neurotransmitter of the pigmented substantia nigra pars compacta neurons, called dopamine. The substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) primarily targets the striatum with this neurotransmitter (shown as the magenta connection in the classic connectivity diagram below), and it is thought to play an important role in learning (see LTP/LTD). psychology.wikia.com /wiki/Basal_ganglia   (1230 words)

Conference Materials Activation in Chinese listeners was found in the left premotor cortex on all four active tasks, in the left pars opercularis on the consonant, vowel, and tone tasks, and in the left pars triangularis on the consonant and vowel tasks. Activation in English listeners was found in the left frontal lobe (premotor cortex/pars opercularis) on the vowel task only, but in the right frontal lobe on the pitch task. Findings suggest that functional circuits engaged in speech perception depend on linguistic experience, all linguistic information signaled by prosodic cues engages left hemisphere mechanisms, and storage and executive processes of verbal working memory implicated in phonological processing are mediated in discrete regions of the left frontal lobe. cognet.mit.edu /library/conferences/paper?paper_id=47178   (237 words)

Autism linked to malfunctioning 'mirror neurons' - brain - 10 December 2005 - New Scientist   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) These cells, believed to be located in the pars opercularis, fire both when you perform a task and watch others do so. Since people with autism have difficulty mimicking others, and communicating socially, Mirella Dapretto and her colleagues at the University of California, Los Angeles, wondered if faulty mirror neurons were to blame. Both groups performed the task equally well, but the children with autism registered no extra activity in the pars opercularis while doing so. www.newscientist.com /channel/being-human/brain/mg18825295.300-autism-linked-to-malfunctioning-mirror-neurons.html   (191 words)

Health Information from Natural Solutions Radio -- Brain Area Linked to Perception of Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The off-key chord produced electrical activity in a part of the brain's frontal lobe called the inferior pars opercularis, Maess and his colleagues found. For four of the six people who participated in the study, their brain activity upon hearing the off-key chord was stronger in the right side of the brain, the authors note. This may mean that the left pars opercularis is responsible for processing language, while the right side handles music, they suggest. www.naturalsolutionsradio.com /articles/article.html?id=318&filter=   (448 words)

Scientific American: Anatomical Abnormalities in the Brain May Contribute to Stuttering   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) To determine whether men or women--or righties or lefties--were more prone to PDS, the team chose 12 right-handed PDS patients (three women and nine men) and four left-handed men--a combination that approximates the distribution of PDS patients in the general population. They concluded that the two factors are correlated with several anatomical features: the Pars Triangularis, for example, was considerably larger in left-handed patients than in right-handed ones. And the Pars Triangularis and Pars Opercularis were larger in men than in women. www.sciam.com /print_version.cfm?articleID=0001F62B-3EC3-1C60-B882809EC588ED9F   (237 words)

Conference Materials Abstract: Recent neuroimaging studies comparing processing of relative clause sentences of varying complexity suggest that left pars opercularis and pars triangularis activations reflect increased syntactic complexity (Just et al., 1996; Stromswold et al., 1996; Caplan et al., 1999). It has been argued that increased processing difficulty in relative clause sentences is not only caused by complex integration processes, but is also partly due to involvement of working memory processes such as maintaining active unintegrated linguistic constituents (Gibson, 1998). Syntactic memory costs were correlated with significant activations in a network comprising deep left pars opercularis (BA44) and left superior pars opercularis, as well as four foci along the left middle temporal gyrus. cognet.mit.edu /library/conferences/paper?paper_id=47206   (244 words)
