This area was activated when the participant responded that she had a detailed recollection of a word compared to simply having a vague sense of familiarity with the word.

课程描述
课程议题在探索神经系统和认知的关系；着重在注意力、视觉、语言、动作控制和记忆。介绍基础神经解剖、功能成像技术，以及认知的行为测量等议题，并讨论方法以推论认知的大脑基础，并且提供患有阿尔茨海默病、帕金森症、亨廷顿症、巴林特综合症、健忘症，与中风导致的损害等等神经疾病患者与正常受试者的研究证据。
Course topics explore the relations between neural systems and cognition, emphasizing attention, vision, language, motor control, and memory. An introduction to basic neuroanatomy, functional imaging techniques, and behavioral measures of cognition is given with discussion of methods by which inferences about the brain bases of cognition are made. Evidence from patients with neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Balint's syndrome, amnesia, and focal lesions from stroke is given as well as from normal human participants.
