People automatically incorporate extralinguistic information into grammatical processing during verbal communication.
Using the Dr. Seuss classic, The Lorax, researchers shed new light on how the brain engages during complex audiovisual speech perception. The findings reveal how the brain utilizes a complex network of brain regions involved in sensory processing, multisensory integration, and cognitive functions to comprehend a story's context.
Researchers investigate how infants learn the speech contrasts of their native languages, identifying the necessary signals are presented in naturalistic speech.
A new language-switching experiment revealed traditional categorization of brain areas may not be sufficient. Researchers set their sights on the caudal inferior parietal cortex to better understand functional categorization in the brain.
A new genome-wide analysis of five reading and language based skills reveals a shared biological basis contributing to these skills.
The brain encodes the structure of sentences and phrases into different neural firing patterns.
People with primary progressive aphasia who have difficulty producing complex words as a result of their condition, compensate by stringing together a sequence of simpler words to convey the idea they wish to express.
Using neuroscience concepts, researchers evaluate the emotional sensation and analytical representations that occur as we read poetry.
Early language acquisition may be tied to memory representations that build over time rather than as a repeated connection between objects and words.
Using AI to analyze language associated with depression on social media during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers found people were more resilient than previously thought.
