Scene-selectivity in CA1/subicular complex:Multivoxel pattern analysis at 7T
Get PDFPrior univariate functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies in humans suggest that the anteromedial subicular complex of the hippocampus is a hub for scene-based cognition. However, it is possible that univariate approaches were not sufficiently sensitive to detect scene-related activity in other subfields that have been implicated in spatial processing (e.g., CA1). Further, as connectivity-based functional gradients in the hippocampus do not respect classical subfield boundary definitions, category sensitivity may be distributed across anatomical subfields. Region-of-interest approaches, therefore, may limit our ability to observe category selectivity across discrete subfield boundaries. To address these issues, we applied searchlight multivariate pattern analysis to 7T fMRI data of healthy adults who undertook a simultaneous visual odd-one-out discrimination task for scene and non-scene (including face) visual stimuli, hypothesising that scene classification would be possible in multiple hippocampal regions within, but not constrained to, anteromedial subicular complex and CA1. Indeed, we found that the scene-selective searchlight map overlapped not only with anteromedial subicular complex (distal subiculum, pre/para subiculum), but also inferior CA1, alongside retrosplenial and parahippocampal cortices. Probabilistic overlap maps revealed gradients of scene category selectivity, with the strongest overlap located in the medial hippocampus, converging with searchlight findings. This was contrasted with gradients of face category selectivity, which had stronger overlap in more lateral hippocampus, supporting ideas of parallel processing streams for these two categories. Our work helps to map the scene, in contrast to, face processing networks within, and connected to, the human hippocampus

Get PDFThe Life of Books in Tristram Shandy
Get PDFThe transmigration of The Shandean from print to digital form provides an occasion for a reflection on the life of books in Tristram Shandy. Sterne is very alive to the physical properties of books, both in the way books are handled within Tristram Shandy and in his own treatment of his text. Thing Theory and the New Materialism provide a way for thinking about how books are treated as things and objects in Tristram Shandy. These methodologies draw attention to ways in which we might experience ‘things’ as intransigent and resistant to our desires, or ‘objects’ which are entailed in our subjectivity, or as ‘quasi-objects’ – items which might be of our creation but which we might experience as outside our control. In this article I argue that these terms do not adequately account for the variety of ways in which books come to life in Sterne’s hands. For one thing, when his characters read or even physically handle books, it is as if they are communing directly with their authors. For another, intradiegetic books are not real books; they do not behave like things/objects or quasi-objects in the world of the reader
