Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This study introduces a new experimental technique for examining the relationship between stone tool-making and brain function. The principal focus is the development of effective methods for the identification and examination of the regions of the modern human brain recruited during the manufacture of simple (Oldovan or Mode I) stone tools. Results indicate heavy activation of cortical and subcortical regions of the brain associated with motor and somatosensory processing. The high degree of activation in areas known to be involved with complex spatial cognition requiring integration of diverse sensory inputs is seen as significant as expansion of such higher-order association areas has been particularly important during human evolution. More comprehensive studies are called for. | |||||
