Relative timing of neuronal activity in distinct temporal lobe areas during a recognition memory task for words
Abstract
Nine neurologically normal volunteers engaged in a recognition memory task for visually presented words while the magnetic flux normal to the scalp surface was measured with a whole-head neuromagnetometer. The relative timing of activity occurring during the task in different brain areas was determined. Occipital lobe areas became active first, followed by basal temporal areas. Temporoparietal and medial temporal areas became active next, during later portions of the recorded epoch, and appeared to activate in concert. Except for the occipital lobe, activity was predominantly in the left hemisphere. This pattern was consistent across participants. Results suggest that MEG, in capturing temporal as well as spatial aspects of brain activity, has a promising role as an adjunct to other functional imaging modalities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
