Activation tightly correlated with numerical distance was observed mainly in a group of parietal areas distributed bilaterally along the intraparietal sulci and in the precuneus, as well as in the left middle temporal gyrus and posterior cingulate | P. Pinel; S. Dehaene; D. Riviere; D. LeBihan. Modulation of parietal activation by semantic distance in a number comparison task. NeuroImage 14(5):1013-26, 2001. PMID: 11697933. DOI: 10.1006/nimg.2001.0913. WOBIB: 10. |
We detected signal increase in the right middle temporal gyrus and left prefrontal cortex during presentation of familiar faces, and in several brain regions, including bilateral posterior cingulate gyri, bilateral insulae and right middle occipital cortex during presentation of unfamiliar faces | Mary L. Phillips; E. T. Bullmore; R. Howard; P. W. Woodruff; I. C. Wright; Steven C. R. Williams; A. Simmons; C. Andrew; M. Brammer; Anthony S. David.

The citalopram-induced change in cerebral metabolism was positively correlated with age in the right precuneus, right paracentral lobule, and left middle temporal gyrus and negatively correlated with age in the left anterior cingulate gyrus, right inferior and middle frontal gyri, right insula, and right inferior parietal lobule | Sara Goldberg; Gwenn S. Smith; Anna Barnes; Yilong Ma; Elisse Kramer; Kimberly Robeson; Margaret Kirshner; Bruce G. Pollock; David Eidelberg. Serotonin modulation of cerebral glucose metabolism in normal aging.
