Dear members of the ILCB community,
Some good news before the summer break:
After an initial validation by the AMIDEX steering committee and the AMIDEX board, we passed the final step on our way to becoming a permanent AMU institute. The project was presented yesterday to the Board of Directors (Conseil d'Administration, CA, d'AMU) which voted in favour. The president of the university congratulated us for the work done at the ILCB. Thank you all for the time and energy you spend on the project.
I wish you all a relaxing summer holiday!

Connectivity of the left-ventral occipitotemporal cortex during visual word processing |
|
The left-ventral occipito-temporal cortex (aka the Visual Word Form Area) plays a key role in reading. We used a combination of EEG and TMS (panel A) to assess the propagation of neural activity from that region to the rest of the brain. Cross-hemispheric neural propagation from the left to the right hemisphere was reduced when participants processed written words compared to non-linguistic input (Panel B) or performed high-level compared to low-level task on written words (Panel C). This modulation of effective connectivity may be linked to the left hemisphere lateralization that is typical of language processing.

"The addition of hot environmental conditions will exacerbate poor cognitive functioning and negatively affect performance outcomes. [...] The existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between hyperthermia development and cognitive performance is suggested, and highlights core temperatures of ~38.5°C as the potential ‘threshold’ for hyperthermia-induced negative cognitive performance."
