Researchers have developed a Russian language protocol for neuroimaging that allows for the mapping of individual language areas of the brain before neurosurgery.
Researchers have identified the location of dysfunctional brain networks that lead to impaired sentence production and word-finding in primary progressive aphasia (PPA). PPA can occur in those with neurodegenerative diseases, such as frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Mapping the networks allows clinicians to apply non-invasive brain stimulation to potentially improve speech in those with PPA.
A new neuroimaging study of war veterans with TBI reveals some interesting insights into brain areas associated with altruism.
