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. ...
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ...
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 ...
Reading-Related Brain Changes in Audiovisual Processing: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal MEG Evidence
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
The ability to establish associations between visual objects and speech sounds is essential for human reading. Understanding
the neural adjustments required for acquisition of these arbitrary audiovisual associations can ...
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 ...
Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ...
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)
Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
Language modality and temporal structure impact processing: Sign and speech have different windows of integration
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)
Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language
signal. In this study we investigate temporal processing of Spanish Sign Language (LSE), isolating the ...
Cross-modal and cross-language activation in bilinguals reveals lexical competition even when words or signs are unheard or unseen
(PNAS, 2022)
We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the
dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a
sign coactivates phonologically related signs, just ...
