Functional connectivity reveals dissociable ventrolateral prefrontal mechanisms for the control of multilingual word retrieval
(Human Brain Mapping, 2020)This functional magnetic resonance imaging study established that different portions of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) support reactive and proactive language control processes during multilingual word retrieval. ... -
Functional correlates of response inhibition in impulse control disorders in Parkinson’s disease
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2021)Impulse control disorder is a prevalent side-effect of Parkinson’s disease (PD) medication, with a strong negative impact on the quality of life of those affected. Although impulsivity has classically been associated with ... -
Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ... -
Functional Inhibitory Control Dynamics in Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease
(Movement Disorders, 2020)ABSTRACT: Background: Impulse control disorders related to alterations in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine network occur in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our objective was to investigate the functional neural substrates ... -
Functional near infrared spectroscopy detects cortical activation changes concurrent with memory loss in postmenopausal women with Type II Diabetes
(SPRINGER, 2023)Older adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience mild cognitive impairment, specifically in the domain of recall/working memory. No consistent causative structural cortical deficits have been identified in persons ... -
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. ... -
Functional underpinnings of feedback-enhanced test-potentiated encoding
(OXFORD, 2023)The testing effect describes the finding that retrieval practice enhances memory performance compared to restudy practice. Prior evidence demonstrates that this effect can be boosted by providing feedback after retrieval ... -
Generalization From Newly Learned Words Reveals Structural Properties of the Human Reading System
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2017)Connectionist accounts of quasiregular domains, such as spelling–sound correspondences in English, represent exception words (e.g., pint) amid regular words (e.g., mint) via a graded “warping” mechanism. Warping allows ... -
Genetic association study of dyslexia and ADHD candidate genes in a Spanish cohort: Implications of comorbid samples
(PLOS ONE, 2018)Dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two complex neuro-behaviorally disorders that co-occur more often than expected, so that reading disability has been linked to inattention symptoms. We ... -
Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people
(PNAS, 2022)The use of spoken and written language is a fundamental human capacity. Individual differences in reading- and language-related skills are influenced by genetic variation, with twin-based heritability estimates of 30 to ... -
Gepo with a G, or Jepo with a J? Skilled Readers Generate Orthographic Expectations for Novel Spoken Words Even When Spelling is Uncertain
(WILEY, 2022)English-speaking children and adults generate orthographic skeletons (i.e., preliminary orthographic representations) solely from aural exposure to novel words. The present study examined whether skilled readers generate ... -
Give me a break! Unavoidable fatigue effects in cognitive pupillometry
(Wiley, 2023)Pupillometry has a rich history in the study of perception and cognition. One perennial challenge is that the magnitude of the task-evoked pupil response diminishes over the course of an experiment, a phenomenon we ... -
Gradient Activation of Speech Categories Facilitates Listeners’ Recovery From Lexical Garden Paths, But Not Perception of Speech-in-Noise
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)Listeners activate speech-sound categories in a gradient way, and this information is maintained and affects activation of items at higher levels of processing (McMurray et al., 2002; Toscano et al., 2010). Recent ... -
Grey Matter Reshaping of Language-Related Regions Depends on Tumor Lateralization
(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 ... -
Group-level cortical functional connectivity patterns using fNIRS: assessing the effect of bilingualism in young infants
(Neurophotonics, 2021)Significance: Early monolingual versus bilingual experience induces adaptations in the development of linguistic and cognitive processes, and it modulates functional activation patterns during the first months of life. ... -
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
(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 ... -
Hemodynamic Deconvolution Demystified: Sparsity-Driven Regularization at Work
(OHBM, 2023)Deconvolution of the hemodynamic response is an important step to access short timescales of brain activity recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Albeit conventional deconvolution algorithms have been ... -
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 ...
