Neural Representation of Exogenous and Endogenous Temporal Expectations Based on fMRI

Key Points

• This research aims to understand how the brain represents exogenous and endogenous temporal expectations during cognitive tasks.
• Utilized fMRI to examine brain activity under conditions of temporal expectations.
• Compared neural activation patterns related to exogenous and endogenous expectations against resting-state networks.
• Cerebral regions for exogenous and endogenous expectations showed similar activation compared to resting-state networks.
• Proposes two cognitive modes in the cerebrum based on different temporal expectations.
