Del umbral a la neuromatriz (Fragment)

Melzack S U M M A R Y The gate control theory’s most important contribution to understanding pain was its emphasis on central neural mechanisms. The theory forced the medical and biological sciences to accept the brain as an active system that filters, selects and modulates inputs. The dorsal horns, too, were not merely passive …

Philip L. Smith1 and Roger Ratcliff2   1Department of Psychology, University of Melbourne, Victoria, 3010, Australia 2Department of Psychology, Ohio State University, 1885 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA   Patterns of neural firing linked to eye movement decisions show that behavioral decisions are predicted by the differential firing rates of cells coding selected and …

Neural correlates of decision processes: neural and mental chronometry (Fragment)

Jeffrey D Schall Center for Integrative and Cognitive Neuroscience, Vanderbilt Vision Research Center, Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Recent studies aim to explain the duration and variability of behavioral reaction time in terms of neural processes.

Contributions of the prefrontal cortex to the neural basis of human decision making (Fragment)

Daniel C. Krawczyk* Department of Psychology, University of California, Los Angeles Abstract The neural basis of decision making has been an elusive concept largely due to the many subprocesses associated with it. Recent efforts involving neuroimaging, neuropsychological studies, and animal work indicate that the prefrontal cortex plays a central role in several of these subprocesses. …
