Sniffing out meaning: Chemosensory and semantic neural network changes in sommeliers
(WILEY, 2024)
Wine tasting is a very complex process that integrates a combination of sensa-tion, language, and memory. Taste and smell provide perceptual information that,together with the semantic narrative that converts flavor into ...
Morphological decomposition in Chinese compound word recognition: Electrophysiological evidence
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
The present study examined the effect of both morphological complexity and semantic transparency in Chinese compound word recognition. Using a visual lexical decision task, our electrophysiological results showed that ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
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 ...
Switching off: disruptive TMS reveals distinct contributions of the posterior middle temporal gyrus and angular gyrus to bilingual speech production
(OXFORD, 2024)
The role of the left temporoparietal cortex in speech production has been extensively studied during native language processing, proving crucial in controlled lexico-semantic retrieval under varying cognitive demands. Yet, ...
