Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas
(Brain and Language, 2020)
Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that
facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in ...
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement
dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ...
MULTIMAP: Multilingual picture naming test for mapping eloquent areas during awake surgeries
(Behavior Research Methods, 2021)
Picture naming tasks are currently the gold standard for identifying and preserving language-related areas during awake brain
surgery. With multilingual populations increasing worldwide, patients frequently need to be ...
What Can Glioma Patients Teach Us about Language (Re)Organization in the Bilingual Brain: Evidence from fMRI and MEG
(Cancers, 2021)
Recent evidence suggests that the presence of brain tumors (e.g., low-grade gliomas)
triggers language reorganization. Neuroplasticity mechanisms called into play can transfer linguistic
functions from damaged to healthy ...
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)
Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ...
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
(Wiley, 2021-04-15)
Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, the spectro-temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and its relation to anatomical changes is less well ...
Highlighting the lack of neuropsychologists and speech therapists in healthcare services towards an accurate (pre‐ and postoperative) cognitive assessment in low‐grade glioma patients
(WILEY, 2022)
Key points
Due to the slow growth of Low‐grade gliomas (LGGs), cognitive impairments can be quite difficult to detect at early stages
There is a lack of staff specialized on the cognitive and emotional assessment of ...
Behavioral and oscillatory signatures of switch costs in highly proficient bilinguals
(NATURE, 2023)
Bilinguals with a high proficiency in their first (L1) and second language (L2) often show comparable reaction times when switching from their L1 to L2 and vice-versa (“symmetrical switch costs”). However, the neurophysiological ...
Humans in Love Are Singing Birds: Socially-Mediated Brain Activity in Language Production
(MIT PRESS, 2023)
This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated whether and how the
human speech production circuit is mediated by social factors. Participants recited a poem in
the MRI scanner while viewing pictures ...
A novel cognitive neurosurgery approach for supramaximal resection of non-dominant precuneal gliomas: A case report
(SPRINGER, 2023)
Despite mounting evidence pointing to the contrary, classical neurosurgery presumes many cerebral regions are non-eloquent,
and therefore, their excision is possible and safe. This is the case of the precuneus and posterior ...
