RATIONALE: Chemotherapy, used for the treatment of cancer, often produces cognitive impairment that has been related to suppression of neurogenesis. Physical exercise, which promotes neurogenesis, is known to improve cognitive function in neurologically challenged animals and humans. It is unknown w

Studies examining the neural correlates of face perception and recognition in humans have revealed multiple brain regions that appear to play a specialized role in face processing. These include an anterior portion of perirhinal cortex (PrC) that appears to be homologous to the face-selective 'anter

Although it is well accepted that the speech motor system (SMS) is activated during speech perception, the functional role of this activation remains unclear. Here we test the hypothesis that the redundant motor activation contributes to categorical speech perception under adverse listening conditio
