Summary: In adult macaque monkeys, the higher order visual areas V2/V3 display significant capacity for topographic reorganization following retinal lesions, exceeding the corresponding capacity of area V1. Neurons inside the lesion projection zone (LPZ) reorganize by receiving input from either the fovea or the peripheral border of the LPZ.

Summary: Tau deposition in aging and Alzheimer's disease affects medial temporal lobe (MTL) neural function, impacting repetition suppression. Different levels of tau pathology are associated with activity changes in distinct MTL subregions, with high tau pathology leading to widespread neural dysfunction.

Summary: In the context of motor sequence learning, fMRI studies revealed differences in neuronal representations between premotor and parietal regions compared to the primary motor cortex (M1). While M1 showed specific representation of the first finger of each sequence, parietal areas represented the identity of the entire sequence and remained relatively stable during different executions. This suggests that the RS effect in M1 reflects a preparatory signal for movement initiation rather than a trained sequence representation.

Summary: Recent research has identified confounding factors that may impact the true effects of expectation suppression, casting doubt on its findings across different experimental contexts. However, evidence for genuine expectation suppression was found in specific statistical learning designs.

Summary: Repeated exposure to a stimulus leads to reduced neural response, known as repetition suppression, in brain regions responsible for processing that stimulus. This is believed to be important for learning and strengthening of perceptual expectations. Reduced sensitivity to repetition has been found in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is thought to contribute to sensory hypersensitivities and difficulties in using regularities in the environment for behavior facilitation. In individuals with ASD, there are specific reductions in repetition suppression for face stimuli, which is associated with challenges in social communication. Altered functional connectivity and microstructural differences in related white matter tracts are also observed in ASD, indicating selective alterations in face processing.

Summary: Previous studies have shown that the left posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) and left temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) both contribute to phonological short-term memory, speech perception and speech production. The study further dissociated the response profiles of these regions and highlighted their distinct roles in speech processing.

Summary: Neurons in the macaque inferotemporal cortex exhibit repetition suppression when a complex natural image is presented twice. This phenomenon occurs in both high-order and low-order visual areas.

Summary: The perceptual function of the Extrastriate Body Area (EBA) develops independently of visual experience, while its action-related function depends on visual experience. Congenital blindness alters EBA's connectivity pattern, with decreased functional connectivity with sensorimotor cortices and maintained connectivity with perception-related visual occipital cortices.

Summary: This study shows that the human cortex exhibits a pattern of auditory-narrow motor-wide selectivity for speech sound representations, with temporal areas being more sensitive to acoustic variations and frontal areas being more tolerant of atypical stimuli.

Summary: The study utilized representational similarity analysis and an online learning paradigm to investigate the distinct contributions of the hippocampus and cortical regions in form-meaning associative learning, showing that the bilateral inferior parietal lobule plays a supporting role in early learning while the left hippocampus is key for learning performance in the later stages.

Summary: This study investigated the effectiveness of combining behavioral training and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to enhance phonological working memory. The results showed that targeting the speech motor component through overt training and tDCS did not improve phonological working memory ability.

Summary: The extrastriate body area (EBA) in the lateral occipito-temporal cortex plays an important role in detecting congruence between self and other's actions regardless of the type of action. The study suggests that EBA may contribute to detecting congruence, and that initiating and responding to interaction may be processed differently within the EBA.

Summary: The study found that atypical organization of praxis was present in all handedness groups, and was about two and a half times as common as atypical organization of language. Despite strong associations of praxis and language, dissociations of atypically represented praxis from typical left-lateralized language were common, while the inverse dissociations were very rare.

Summary: This study found that the right rostral IPL and bilateral posterior-to-mid and left anterior intraparietal sulci are involved in the transformation of finger movements into proper mechanical movements of complex tools. These transformations are necessary for effective control of fingers in skillful handling of complex tools and involve conversions between hand-centered and target-centered reference frames.

Summary: This study investigates the neural mechanisms underlying the planning and execution of tool-directed actions with different goals. The praxis representation network (PRN) in the left cerebral hemisphere is involved in controlling functional interactions with familiar tools, but its engagement is modulated by task type.
