Cortical stimulation mappingCortical stimulation mapping (CSM) is a type of electrocorticography that involves a physically invasive procedure and aims to localize the function of specific brain regions through direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex. It remains one of the earliest methods of analyzing the brain and has allowed researchers to study the relationship between cortical structure and systemic function.
Trouble de l'intégration sensorielleLe trouble du traitement sensoriel (ou SPD, pour Sensory processing disorder, aussi anciennement dénommé "dysfonctionnement de l'intégration sensorielle") désigne un trouble correspondant à une difficulté ou à une incapacité du système nerveux central à traiter adéquatement les flux d'informations sensorielles arrivant dans le cerveau, lequel ne peut alors fournir de réponses appropriées aux exigences de l'environnement.
Inferior colliculusThe inferior colliculus (IC) (Latin for lower hill) is the principal midbrain nucleus of the auditory pathway and receives input from several peripheral brainstem nuclei in the auditory pathway, as well as inputs from the auditory cortex. The inferior colliculus has three subdivisions: the central nucleus, a dorsal cortex by which it is surrounded, and an external cortex which is located laterally. Its bimodal neurons are implicated in auditory-somatosensory interaction, receiving projections from somatosensory nuclei.
Visual memoryVisual memory describes the relationship between perceptual processing and the encoding, storage and retrieval of the resulting neural representations. Visual memory occurs over a broad time range spanning from eye movements to years in order to visually navigate to a previously visited location. Visual memory is a form of memory which preserves some characteristics of our senses pertaining to visual experience. We are able to place in memory visual information which resembles objects, places, animals or people in a mental image.

Visual agnosiaVisual agnosia is an impairment in recognition of visually presented objects. It is not due to a deficit in vision (acuity, visual field, and scanning), language, memory, or intellect. While cortical blindness results from lesions to primary visual cortex, visual agnosia is often due to damage to more anterior cortex such as the posterior occipital and/or temporal lobe(s) in the brain.[2] There are two types of visual agnosia: apperceptive agnosia and associative agnosia. Recognition of visual objects occurs at two primary levels.
Claustrumvignette|214x214px|Coupe frontale du cerveau au niveau de la partie moyenne du troisième ventricule montrant le claustrum (flèche rouge) Le claustrum (ou avant-mur) est une fine couche de matière grise cérébrale située entre le putamen en dedans et l'insula en dehors, dont il est séparé par les capsules externe et extrême, respectivement. Le claustrum entretient des connexions réciproques avec le néocortex, ainsi qu'avec l'hypothalamus latéral, l'amygdale baso-latérale, le noyau basal de Meynert, le corps genouillé latéral et le noyau thalamique intralaminaire centro-latéral.
