A novel cognitive neurosurgery approach for supramaximal resection of non-dominant precuneal gliomas: A case report
Bermúdez, Garazi; Quiñones, Ileana; Carrasco, Alejandro; Gil-Robles, Santiago; Amoruso, Lucia; Mandonnet, Emmanel; Carreiras, Manuel; Catalán, Gregorio; Pomposo, Iñigo (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 ... -
Behavioral and oscillatory signatures of switch costs in highly proficient bilinguals
Timofeeva, Polina; Quiñones, Ileana; Geng, Shuang; de Bruin, Angela; Carreiras, Manuel; Amoruso, Lucia (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 ... -
Decoding bilingualism from resting-state oscillatory network organization
Amoruso, Lucia; García, Adolfo M.; Pusil, Sandra; Timofeeva, Polina; Quiñones, Ileana; Carreiras, Manuel (WILEY, 2024)Can lifelong bilingualism be robustly decoded from intrinsic brain connectivity? Can we determine, using a spectrally resolved approach, the oscillatory networks that better predict dual-language experience? We recorded ... -
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
Mancini, Simona; Quiñones, Ileana; Molinaro, Nicola; Hernandez-Cabrera, Juan A.; Carreiras, Manuel (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 ... -
Distinctive Frontal and Occipitotemporal Surface Features in Neglectful Parenting
León, Inmaculada; Rodrigo, María José; Quiñones, Ileana; Hernández‐Cabrera, Juan Andrés; García‐Pentón, Lorna (Brain sciences, 2021)Although the brain signatures of adaptive human parenting are well documented, the cortical features associated with maladaptive caregiving are underexplored. We investigated whether cortical thickness and surface area ... -
Grey Matter Reshaping of Language-Related Regions Depends on Tumor Lateralization
Manso-Ortega, Lucía; De Frutos-Sagastuy, Laura; Gisbert-Muñoz, Sandra; Salamon, Noriko; Qiao, Joe; Walshaw, Patricia; Quiñones, Ileana; Połczynska, Monika M. (MDPI, 2023)A brain tumor in the left hemisphere can decrease language laterality as assessed through fMRI. However, it remains unclear whether or not this decreased language laterality is associated with a structural reshaping of the ... -
Highlighting the lack of neuropsychologists and speech therapists in healthcare services towards an accurate (pre‐ and postoperative) cognitive assessment in low‐grade glioma patients
Manso‐Ortega, Lucia; Bermudez, Garazi; Pomposo, Iñigo; Gil‐Robles, Santiago; Miranda, Maite; Carreiras, Manuel; Quiñones, Ileana (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 ... -
Humans in Love Are Singing Birds: Socially-Mediated Brain Activity in Language Production
Martin, Clara; Quiñones, Ileana; Carreiras, Manuel (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 ... -
Limbic-visual attenuation to crying faces underlies neglectful mothering
León, Inmaculada; Rodrigo, María José; El-Deredy, Wael; Modroño, Cristián; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan Andrés; Quiñones, Ileana (Scientific Reports, 2019)Neglectful mothering is one of the most common forms of childhood maltreatment, involving a severe disregard of the child’s needs, yet little is known about its neural substrate. A child’s needs are usually conveyed by ... -
MULTIMAP: Multilingual picture naming test for mapping eloquent areas during awake surgeries
Gisbert Muñoz, Sandra; Quiñones, Ileana; Amoruso, Lucia; Timofeeva, Polina; Geng, Shuang; Boudelaa, Sami; Pomposo, Iñigo; Gil Robles, Santiago; Carreiras, Manuel (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 ... -
Neglectful maternal caregiving involves altered brain volume in empathy-related areas
Rodrigo, María José; León, Inmaculada; García-Pentón, Lorna; Hernández-Cabrera, Juan Andrés; Quiñones, Ileana (Development and Psychopathology, 2020)The maternal brain undergoes adaptations to sensitive caregiving that are critical for infant well-being.We investigated structural alterations associated with neglectful caregiving and their effects on mother–child ... -
Neural dynamics supporting longitudinal plasticity of action naming across languages: MEG evidence from bilingual brain tumor patients
Geng, Shuang; Quiñones, Ileana; Gil-Robles, Santiago; Pomposo Gastelu, Iñigo Cristobal; Bermudez, Garazi; Timofeeva, Polina; Molinaro, Nicola; Carreiras, Manuel; Amoruso, Lucia (ELSEVIER, 2023)Previous evidence suggests that distinct ventral and dorsal streams respectively underpin the semantic processing of object and action knowledge. Recently, we found that brain tumor patients with dorsal gliomas in ... -
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
Amoruso, Lucia; Geng, Shuang; Molinaro, Nicola; Timofeeva, Polina; Gisbert Muñoz, Sandra; Gil Robles, Santiago; Pomposo, Iñigo; Quiñones, Ileana; Carreiras, Manuel (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 ... -

Carreiras, Manuel; Quiñones, Ileana; Chen, H. Alexander; Vázquez-Araujo, Laura; Small, Dana; Frost, Ram (WILEY, 2024)Wine tasting is a very complex process that integrates a combination of sensa-tion, language, and memory.
