lingual gyrus

This is usually due to lesions in the lingual gyrus.

The lingual gyrus, he said, "seems to play a key role in either generating or recalling dreams."

The lingual gyrus is named after the shape it most closely resembles - the tongue.

In some subjects, the lingual gyrus was activated.

This suggests a potential link between the lingual gyrus and hippocampal regions in the brain.

The patients were known to have lesions in an area of the lower back portion of brain called the lingual gyrus.

A further activation focus was found in the left BA 18 (lingual gyrus).

The lingual gyrus is a brain structure that is linked to processing vision, especially related to letters.

Data from the fMRI showed in several structures, notably the lingual gyrus.

The lingual gyrus is a structure in the visual cortex that plays an important role in the identification and recognition of words.

Studies have shown elevated signals in the lingual gyrus when subjects were tasked with retrieval of facts while problem solving.

Above the medial, Y-shaped sulcus lies the cuneus, and the area below the sulcus is the lingual gyrus.

Repetition of stimuli led to modulation in the lingual gyrus in subjects not afflicted, while those with aphasia showed significantly less modulation.

Visual memory dysfunction and visuo-limbic disconnection have been shown in cases where the lingual gyrus has been damaged (due to stroke or other traumatic brain injuries).

In the human it is located in parts of the cuneus, the lingual gyrus and the lateral occipital gyrus (H) of the occipital lobe.

When subjects were tasked with pairing abstract nouns with either visual imagery or sentence generation, many areas in the occipital lobe - namely the lingual gyrus - showed task-selective memory effects.

Many functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in both humans and macaque monkeys have shown color stimuli activating multiple areas in the brain, including the fusiform gyrus and the lingual gyrus.

Studies have implied the lingual gyrus is involved with modulating visual stimuli (especially letters), but is not related to whether or not the stimulus was a word Further, the gyrus is related to the naming of stimuli.

Behind, it lies below and lateral to the calcarine fissure, from which it is separated by the lingual gyrus; in front, it is situated between the parahippocampal gyrus and the anterior part of the fusiform gyrus.

Through neuro-imaging studies of normal people, Dr. Aguirre has found that when subjects are presented with a series of pictures, the right lingual gyrus fires most avidly in response to images of buildings, and barely at all when viewing pictures of faces, tools or cars.

Using fMRI brain imaging, scientists found three main areas stimulated by color: V1, an area in the ventral occipital lobe, specifically the lingual gyrus, which was designated as human V4, or hV4, and another area located anteriorly in the fusiform gyrus, designated as V4α.

The lingual gyrus of the occipital lobe lies between the calcarine sulcus and the posterior part of the collateral sulcus; behind, it reaches the occipital pole; in front, it is continued on to the tentorial surface of the temporal lobe, and joins the parahippocampal gyrus.

In more specific terms, fibers carrying information from the contralateral superior visual field traverse Meyer's loop to terminate in the lingual gyrus below the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe, and fibers carrying information from the contralateral inferior visual field terminate more superiorly, to the cuneus.
