Handedness and its genetic influences are associated with structural asymmetries of the cerebral cortex in 31,864 individuals
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021)Roughly 10% of the human population is left-handed, and this rate is increased in some brain-related disorders. The neuroanatomical correlates of hand preference have remained equivocal. We resampled structural brain ... -
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The importance of language use ... -
Heat exposure following encoding can interfere with subsequent recognition memory
; Soto, David
; (NATURE, 2023)
Correlational studies suggest that high temperatures may impair online cognitive performance and learning processes. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat exposure blocks offline memory consolidation. We report two ... -
Heritability and reliability of automatically segmented human hippocampal formation subregions
(NeuroImage, 2016)The human hippocampal formation can be divided into a set of cytoarchitecturally and functionally distinct subregions, involved in different aspects of memory formation. Neuroanatomical disruptions within these subregions ... -
Hierarchical levels of representation in language prediction: The influence of first language acquisition in highly proficient bilinguals
(Cognition, 2017)Language comprehension is largely supported by predictive mechanisms that account for the ease and speed with which communication unfolds. Both native and proficient non-native speakers can efficiently handle contextual ... -
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging reveals nuclei of the human amygdala: manual segmentation to automatic atlas
(NeuroImage, 2017)The amygdala is composed of multiple nuclei with unique functions and connections in the limbic system and to the rest of the brain. However, standard in vivo neuroimaging tools to automatically delineate the amygdala into ... -
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 ... -
Holiday or vacation? The processing of variation in vocabulary across dialects
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word "holiday" when American natives would prefer ... -
How ageing changes the mnemonic bias of visual behaviour
Wedmore, Florence; Musil, Sofía; Soto, David (Visual Cognition, 2017)
Ageing is associated with deficits in cognitive control, including attention and working memory processes. However, how ageing influences the interactions between these cognitive systems is not well understood. The present ... -
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language ... -
How are visual words represented? Insights from EEG-based visual word decoding, feature derivation and image reconstruction
(Human Brain Mapping, 2019)Investigations into the neural basis of reading have shed light on the cortical locus and the functional role of visual-orthographic processing. Yet, the fine-grained structure of neural representations subserving reading ... -
How Brain-Related Observations Can Be Used to Support Learners to Acquire Full Literacy? Brain-Related Research as a Support Mechanism to Help Learners to Acquire Full Literacy.
(MDPI, 2023)Possibly some of the most important skills that one can have are those needed to become fully literate. We all wish our children to reach such a goal. Unfortunately, the focus of attention in reading research has been on ... -
How do bilinguals switch between languages in different interactional contexts? A comparison between voluntary and mandatory language switching
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)How bilinguals switch between languages depends on the context. In a voluntary context, bilinguals are free to decide when to switch, whereas in a cued context they are instructed when to switch. While using two languages ... -
How do Spanish speakers read words? Insights from a crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)Vocabulary size seems to be affected by multiple factors, including those that belong to the properties of the words themselves and those that relate to the characteristics of the individuals assessing the words. In this ... -
How Do We Keep Information ‘Online’?
Soto, David (Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2017)
New magnetoencephalography (MEG) results indicate that a putative marker of conscious processes – namely, the global broadcasting of information across large-scale cortical networks – can also operate during the maintenance ... -
How much do visual cues help listeners in perceiving accented speech?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)It has been documented that lipreading facilitates the understanding of difficult speech, such as noisy speech and time-compressed speech. However, relatively little work has addressed the role of visual information in ... -
How the COVID‐19 pandemic has changed our lives: A study of psychological correlates across 59 countries
(Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2021)Objective: This study examined the impact of the COVID‐ 19 pandemic and subsequent social restrictions or quarantines on the mental health of the global adult population. Method: A sample of 6,882 individuals (Mage = ... -
How the human brain introspects about one's own episodes of cognitive control
Soto, David; Theodoraki, Mona; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M. (cortex, 2018)
Metacognition refers to our capacity to reflect upon our experiences, thoughts and actions. Metacognition processes are linked to cognitive control functions that allow keeping our actions on-task. But it is unclear how ... -
Hypothesis-driven genome-wide association studies provide novel insights into genetics of reading disabilities
(SPRINGER, 2022)Reading Disability (RD) is often characterized by difficulties in the phonology of the language. While the molecular mechanisms underlying it are largely undetermined, loci are being revealed by genome-wide association ... -
ICA-based denoising strategies in breath-hold induced cerebrovascular reactivity mapping with multi echo BOLD fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2021)Performing a BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) acquisition during breath-hold (BH) tasks is a non-invasive, robust method to estimate cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). However, movement and breathing-related artefacts caused by ...
