Modern brain mapping – what do we map nowadays?
Frontiers in Psychiatry. 2015. Vol. 6. No. MAY, Article number 89.

The problem of functional localization in the brain is one of the most fundamental in neuroscience. For this problem two opposite ideologies: "modular" versus "holistic" nature of the brain also known as "localism" and "holism" have been discussed for a long time (Flourens 1825; Luria 1967). The debate in favor of one or another ideology still can be traced at all methodological levels - from a cell to a system. In this opinion paper we want to raise a question - what is nowadays meant by mapping of the brain? In addition we want to highlight the necessity of being aware of occasionally occurring discontinuity in the research at different methodological scales.

This study examines the association between teacher expectations and mathematics growth among first-grade students in Russia. The sample included 1,155 students and 48 teachers from public schools in two Siberian regions. Students’ mathematics performance was assessed using START, with vertical test alignment used to measure individual growth. Multilevel regression models estimated on 20 multiply imputed ...

Snow drought has become a research hotspot due to its widespread impacts on ecosystems and water resources, yet its effects on vegetation phenology remain relatively understudied. Focusing on the Mongolian Plateau, this study used the Snow Water Equivalent Index and the start of growing season (SOS) to assess the associations between snow drought and vegetation ...

Brachiopoda is a group of animals, that is still insufficiently studied at the ultrastructural level, despite the significance of ultrastructure of tissues and organs for analysing the functional morphology, reconstructing the organisation and biology of numerous extinct brachiopods, and establishing relationships among major taxa. In the present study, we provide a revised reconstruction of the ...

The term “broad autism phenotype” (BAP) refers to individuals who do not meet the diagnostic criteria for autism but share some of its features, including social difficulties and atypicalities in visual perception and attention that have been linked to a detail-oriented cognitive style. To examine both the cognitive and social aspects of BAP, we employed ...

This work presents a new analytical solution of the shallow water theory for cylindrical propagation of long tsunami-like waves in the basin of variable depth. Considered model cases are related to tsunami wave propagation from an asteroid fallen into the sea, or from underwater volcanic eruptions. The corresponding bottom geometries represent radially symmetric obstacles such ...

In this letter, bipolar solitary wave interactions in the Schamel equation are revisited numerically. Two simulation settings are considered: repeated collisions in a periodic domain, and the interaction of a positive solitary wave with a train of negative polarity solitary waves of equal amplitude. In the first case, when the amplitudes are comparable, the larger ...

Currently, artificial intelligence occupies a solid place among traditional pedagogical technologies and approaches, which is the subject of widespread discussion among domestic and foreign scientists and researchers. This is because the introduction of AI into higher education, despite its high potential, faces a wide range of economic, social, and ethical obstacles. These include resistance to ...

В русскоязычной психологической литературе конструкт «агентность» встречается редко и обычно отождествляется с понятием «субъектность». В англоязычном дискурсе при рассмотрении агентности изучают два аспекта: ее ощущение и оценку. Дифференциальный опросник переживания агентности (Sense of Agency Scale) А. Тапал и коллег – ДОПА – направлен на измерение общего ощущаемого контроля над собственными произвольными действиями. Целью текущего исследования ...

Large language models (LLMs) have been proposed as a substitute for field trials in itemdifficulty estimation, but evidence about where they succeed is usually drawn from a single test form. We compare LLM difficulty predictions across three task types that make different language demands, grammar cloze, semantic cloze and reading comprehension, on two operational Grade ...

Being able to remember the origin of a particular memory is for times even more important than the memory itself. Yet, although memory for the information and memory for the source are intrinsically connected, the particular neural underpinnings for the source‐memory monitoring remains unclear. We run an fMRI meta‐analysis to help to clarify the brain ...

The first attempt is being made to synthesize fundamental, cultural, and practical psychology, focused on a transactional and analytical interpretation of personality (the “TA-model”). The professional language of transactional analysis, the identification and names of “games” and life scenarios, the very stylistics of Berne's texts: all these are a manifestation of the effect of the ...

This study reviews the behavioral techniques that control visual stimuli to systematically modulate visual processing in an observer’s brain. These techniques are indirect but more affordable than more-direct techniques for stimulating the brain. The limitations of these techniques and the calibrations necessary for them are also discussed. Some of the behavioral techniques can be also ...

Clarity of knowledge and reasoning is necessary in many cases. Yet vagueness in scientific thinking related to surprise, curiosity, "ability to engage with not-knowing" (de Freitas) and abductive reasoning is also a crucially important source of scientific creativity which supplements combinatorial logic when dealing with the already known. Starting from studies by C. S. Peirce ...
