Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)
In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral
reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ...
Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 2018)
The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) is crucial for recognizing visual patterns, and previous evidence suggests that there may be different subregions within the vOTC involved in the rapid identification of word ...
Functional Inhibitory Control Dynamics in Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease
(Movement Disorders, 2020)
ABSTRACT: Background: Impulse control disorders
related to alterations in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine
network occur in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our objective
was to investigate the functional neural substrates ...
Disrupted salience network dynamics in Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorders
(Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, 2020)
Background: Dynamic functional network analysis may add relevant information about the temporal nature of
the neurocognitive alterations in PD patients with impulse control disorders (PD-ICD). Our aim was to investigate
changes ...
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ...
Converging Evidence for Differential Specialization and Plasticity of Language Systems
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
Functional specialization and plasticity are fundamental organizing principles of the brain. Since the mid-1800s, certain cognitive
functions have been known to be lateralized, but the provenance and flexibility of ...
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)
Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry connecting primary- and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of the brain’s physical structure correlate with ...
Verbal production dynamics and plasticity: functional contributions of language and executive control systems
(OXFORD, 2023)
Bilingual language production requires both language knowledge and language control in order to communicate in a target language. Learning or improving a language in adulthood is an increasingly common undertaking, and ...
