It has been generally suggested that chewing produces an enhancing effect on cognitive
performance-related aspects of memory by the test battery. Furthermore, recent studies have …

In recent years, chewing has been discussed as producing effects of maintaining and

The specificity of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) is determined spatially by the
vascular architecture and temporally by the evolution of hemodynamic changes. The stimulus …

Neuroimaging has played an important part in advancing our understanding of the neurobiology
of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). At the same time, neuroimaging studies of …

The spatiotemporal characteristics of the hemodynamic response to increased neural activity
were investigated at the level of individual intracortical vessels using BOLD-fMRI in a well-…

Background Lateralized dysfunction has been suggested in obsessive-compulsive disorder
