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 ...
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 ...
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in auditory cortex is modulated by language proficiency
(WILEY, 2023)
The coordination between the theta phase (3–7 Hz) and gamma power (25–35 Hz)
oscillations (namely theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling, PAC) in the auditory
cortex has been proposed as an essential neural mechanism ...
Word frequency and reading demands modulate brain activation in the inferior frontal gyrus
(NATURE, 2023)
Processing efficiency differs between high- and low-frequency words, with less frequent words
resulting in longer response latencies in several linguistic behavioral tasks. Nevertheless, studies
using functional MRI to ...
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 ...
Neural dynamics supporting longitudinal plasticity of action naming across languages: MEG evidence from bilingual brain tumor patients
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Processing argument structure complexity in Basque-Spanish bilinguals
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)
Previous research on argument structure (AS) has shown that verb processing costs scale with the number of arguments and as a result of non-canonical thematic mapping. The Basque language has unique AS: Basque unergatives ...
