“…Recent research shows that this linguistic representation of behavioral rules is very crucial for learning new behavior (Luria, 1980;Kray et al, 2006) as well as for the control of behavior (Goschke, 2000;Miyake et al, 2004). However, this representation alone is not sufficient for behavioral implementation as witnessed by the dissociation of knowing and doing in prefrontal patients (Teuber, 1964). Our findings suggest that healthy adults can easily translate the linguistic information to a sublinguistic level.…”

One of the major evolutionary advances of human primates in the motor domain is their ability to use verbal instructions to guide their behavior. Despite this fundamental role of verbal information for our behavioral regulation, the functional and neural mechanisms underlying the transformation of verbal instructions into efficient behavior are still poorly understood. To gain deeper insights into the motor representation of verbal instructions, we investigated the neural circuits involved in overcoming interference from stimulusresponse (S-R) mappings that are merely instructed and S-R mappings that are implemented. Implemented and instructed S-R mappings revealed a partly overlapping pattern of fronto-parietal brain activity when compared with a neutral condition. However, the direct contrast revealed a clear difference with stronger activation for the implemented condition in the ACC, bilateral inferior parietal cortex, the cerebellum and the precentral sulcus. This indicates that instructed S-R mappings share some properties with implemented S-R mappings but that they are lacking the motor-related properties of implemented mappings.

“…Since frontal lobe lesions result in the perception of fewer reversals perceived (L. Cohen, 1959;Teuber, 1964) their result was interpreted as highs outperforming lows. However, only in patients with unilateral frontal lesions are fewer reversals perceived.…”

“…However, only in patients with unilateral frontal lesions are fewer reversals perceived. Bilateral frontal lesions actually increase the number of reversals perceived (L. Cohen, 1959;Teuber, 1964), meaning that, like enhanced theta, this measure cannot be used unambiguously as a sign of better frontal lobe function (although see below for evidence for a left hemisphere-only baseline functional connectivity difference in highs). Moreover, as Dienes and Perner (2007) noted, the finding of a greater number of perceived reversals by Crawford et al, as well as their result showing more cases of autokinetic movement observed in the same study, is difficult to interpret without knowing what subjects were trying to do.…”

There is both theoretical and empirical evidence supporting a role for frontal executive functions (FEFs) in hypnosis and hypnotic suggestibility. However, the precise nature of this involvement is debated. While there is clear evidence that FEFs are impaired under hypnosis, the cause of this decreased function is unclear. Theories make differing predictions as to the role of FEFs in hypnotic suggestibility, with some arguing that decreased baseline (normal function outside of the hypnotic context) FEFs lead to greater hypnotic suggestibility and others arguing that increased baseline FEFs lead to greater hypnotic suggestibility. Other theories posit that suggestibility is more a consequence of attitude rather than aptitude. The present work provides a critical review of the involvement of FEFs in hypnosis and hypnotic suggestibility. The review considers behavioral evidence from studies employing putative frontal lobe tasks including tests of fluid intelligence and both task- and nontask-based neuroimaging evidence. It is determined that the evidence to date is inconclusive and that more work is needed to establish a necessary and sufficient role for FEFs in hypnosis or hypnotic suggestibility. Recommendations are made for future research.

“…Thalamic and parietal lesions cause CD deficits in double-step tasks, as discussed above, and parietal damage impairs the awareness of movement intentions (Sirigu et al 2004). Frontal damage may cause CD-related deficits in perception (Teuber 1964), and visual cortex lesions can cause an illusion that the visual world is moving when the eyes move across a static background scene (Haarmeier et al 1997).…”

Each movement we make activates our own sensory receptors, thus causing a problem for the brain: the spurious, movement-related sensations must be discriminated from the sensory inputs that really matter, those representing our environment. Here we consider circuits for solving this problem in the primate brain. Such circuits convey a copy of each motor command, known as a corollary discharge (CD), to brain regions that use sensory input. In the visual system, CD signals may help to produce a stable visual percept from the jumpy images resulting from our rapid eye movements. A candidate pathway for providing CD for vision ascends from the superior colliculus to the frontal cortex in the primate brain. This circuit conveys warning signals about impending eye movements that are used for planning subsequent movements and analyzing the visual world. Identifying this circuit has provided a model for studying CD in other primate sensory systems and may lead to a better understanding of motor and mental disorders.
