Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Previous functional neuroimaging studies had demonstrated the involvement of cytoarchitectonic area 8Av of the prefrontal cortex in the cognitive allocation of attention to spatial stimuli. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study examined brain activity related to the allocation of attention to non-spatial visual stimuli, i.e., stimuli that are defined by their perceptual features and are independent of their location. The study established (a) the involvement of area 8Av in the allocation of attention to non-spatial stimuli in the environment and (b) the areas co-activated with area 8Av across the entire cortex so that the complete functional cortical network could be defined. Finally, based on individual subject analysis, the functional activity in area 8Av was related to specific sulci in the caudal middle frontal gyrus. The novel information provided by the current fMRI study significantly advances our understanding of the role of area 8Av in the selective allocation of attention to stimuli in the environment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
