Background The beneficial effects of brain training games are expected to transfer to other
cognitive functions, but these beneficial effects are poorly understood. Here we investigate …

Motivated by the vast amount of information that is rapidly accumulating about the human
brain in digital form, we embarked upon a program in 1992 to develop a four–dimensional …

Working memory is the limited capacity storage system involved in the maintenance and
manipulation of information over short periods of time. Individual capacity of working memory is …

Human lesion data have indicated that the frontal polar area might be critically involved in
having an insight into one’s future. Retrospective memory mediated by medial temporal lobes …

Social contact often initially depends on ascertaining the direction of the other person's gaze.
We determined the brain areas involved in gaze monitoring by a functional neuroimaging …

Background. Recent findings of neuroimaging studies indicate that reading aloud and
arithmetic calculation activate bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of humans. The purpose of …

Background Do brain training games work? The beneficial effects of brain training games
are expected to transfer to other cognitive functions. Yet in all honesty, beneficial transfer …

Objective: To investigate any correlation between BMI and brain gray matter volume, we
analyzed 1,428 healthy Japanese subjects by applying volumetric analysis and voxel‐based …

The authors describe the development of a four-dimensional atlas and reference system
that includes both macroscopic and microscopic information on structure and function of the …

We measured regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using positron emission tomography (PET)
to determine which brain regions are involved in the assessment of facial emotion. We …
