Neuroimage.Neuroimage Aug;16(4): Frontal lobe activation during object permanence: data from near- infrared spectroscopy. Baird AA Baird AA 1, Kagan J, Gaudette T, Walz KA, Hershlag N, Boas DA.Kagan JGaudette TWalz KAHershlag NBoas DA Author information Abstract The ability to create and hold a mental schema of an object is one of the milestones in cognitive development. Developmental scientists have named the behavioral manifestation of this competence object permanence. Convergent evidence indicates that frontal lobe maturation plays a critical role in the display of object permanence, but methodological and ethical constrains have made it difficult to collect neurophysiological evidence from awake, behaving infants. Near-infrared spectroscopy provides a noninvasive assessment of changes in oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin and total hemoglobin concentration within a prescribed region. The evidence described in this report reveals that the emergence of object permanence is related to an increase in hemoglobin concentration in frontal cortex.

Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults Ryota Kanai, Tom Feilden, Colin Firth, Geraint Rees Political liberalism and conservatism were correlated with brain structure Liberalism was associated with the gray matter volume of anterior cingulate cortex Conservatism was associated with increased right amygdala size Results offer possible accounts for cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives
