Dear members of the ILCB,
We are delighted to send you our second newsletter, which contains new portraits, publications, projects, and lots of other useful information.
Amongst those, I’d like to draw your attention to a new postdoc call entitled “ILCB fellow”, with a deadline on May 30th, 2021. The ILCB fellow as we see it is a rather experienced postdoc with a very strong research background, who is able to conduct his or her own original project without the need to be directly supervised by one or two ILCB members (as is the case with the other postdoc call whose deadline is... today). The ILCB fellow is expected to bring to the ILCB new approaches, topics, techniques, ideas, etc. The call is available here.
We have finally decided on the date and location for this year’s ILCB retreat, which will take place at the LPL on May 25 and 26 (please register, the number of the places is limited). The goal of the retreat is to efficiently prepare the GoNoGo evaluation. The two main questions will be “What have we achieved? Where will we go?” We will shortly send you a one-page template that can be used to send us your thoughts on this matter.
You can still send us any publications or projects that illustrate the fabulous interdisciplinary ILCB adventure. The email address you can use for sharing information is
"ilcb-communication AT univ-amu.fr".
Best wishes,
Johannes |

"La récursivité dans nos cerveaux est, en quelque sorte,
le Saint Graal de la recherche neuro-linguistique."

the Holy Grail of neuro-linguistic research.")

A language-ready brain in baby monkeys? |
|
|
|
(A) MRI images of 10-day-old baby baboon brain. The Planum Temporale, an area essential for language in humans, is larger in the left hemisphere than in the right hemisphere (green) in (B) a majority of newborn baboons, and (C) in a quasi-identical proportion to human babies. (D) Longitudinal measures in an older age class (7-10 months) show that the strength of individual PT asymmetry increases with age.
Up to now, this early cerebral asymmetry has been considered as an anatomical marker of the human baby brain’s predisposition to rapidly acquire language as soon as they are exposed to it. This result suggests the hypothesis of a common language-related feature associated to PT asymmetry between monkeys and humans.
