Heteromodal (polymodal) association cortex: This area integrates information from multiple sensory modalities. It plays a critical role in higher cognitive functions, including attention, memory, language, and conscious thought. Heteromodal association cortex is hypothesised to be selectively involved in the neuropathology of schizophrenia. [5]
Specifically, the right hemisphere favors the "heteromodal association cortex" while the left favors the "modality-specific association cortex", and both are engaged in complex information processing. The latter deals solely with processing information arriving from individual sensory systems, such as visual, auditory, and sensory ones.
Prominent connections to the areas of heteromodal association in the front, temporal and parietal lobes. Strong reciprocal connections to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (roughly Brodmann area 46) and the frontal poles (Brodmann areas 10 and 11). Less prominent connections to Brodmann areas 9/46, 8 and 9.
It has been considered a heteromodal cortex, which means that it responds to multiple stimuli, capable of interpreting internal and external sensory input. The coordination of these sensory interpretations are ideal for humor appreciation and production, one of the highest and most evolved human cognitive functions.
More than 800 people have lost their lives in jail since July 13, 2015 but few details are publicly released. Huffington Post is compiling a database of every person who died until July 13, 2016 to shed light on how they passed.
Primary auditory cortex (A1) Superior temporal cortex (STG/STS/PT) Audio visual cross modal interactions are known to occur in the auditory association cortex which lies directly inferior to the Sylvian fissure in the temporal lobe. [79] Plasticity was observed in the superior temporal gyrus (STG) by Petitto et al. (2000). [89]
