More Information
Summary:Saccade characteristics and slow potentials in antisaccade tasks were studied in 37 people with disorders of sexual interest, depending on the disturbances of self-consciousness. The study found a decreased level of frontal cortex activation in subjects with disorders of self-consciousness; in subjects without disturbances of self-consciousness a high level of frontal cortex activation was observed. The findings demonstrate the important role of the frontal cortex in providing self-consciousness.
