dc.description.abstract | 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 of their lover, unknown persons, or houses to simulate
different social contexts. The results showed, as expected, the recruitment of the speech
production circuit during recitation. However, for the first time, we demonstrated that this
circuit is tightly linked to the network underlying social cognition. The socially relevant
contexts (familiar and unfamiliar persons) elicited the recruitment of a widespread bilateral
circuit including regions such as the amygdala, anterior cingulate, and orbitofrontal cortex, in
contrast to the non-socially relevant context (houses). We also showed a neural gradient
generated by the differences in the social relevance of affective and nonaffective contexts.
This study opens up a novel line of research into socially mediated speech production,
revealing drastic differences in brain activation when performing the same speech production
task in different social contexts. Interestingly, the analogous avian anterior neural pathway
in the zebra finch is also differentially activated when the bird sings facing a (potential)
mate or alone. Thus, this study suggests that despite important phylogenetic differences,
speech production in humans is based, as in songbirds, on a complex neural circuitry
that is modulated by evolutionarily primordial aspects such as the social relevance of
the addressee. | es_ES |
