Raja Bensalem, Kais Haddar, and Philippe Blache. 2023. ACM Transactions on Asian and Low-Resource Language Information Processing 22 (10): 1–25 — @HAL The specificities of the Arabic parsing such as the agglutination, the vocalization and the relatively order-free of words in the Arabic sentences, remain a major issue to consider. To promote its robustness, such […]
A Small, but Vocal, Brain
Pascal Belin, Régis Trapeau, and Manon Obliger-Debouche. 2023. Cell Reports 42 (6): 112651 — @HAL In the May issue of Cell Reports, Jafari et al.1 used ultra-high-field fMRI to show that marmosets, like humans and macaques, possess an extensive network of voice-selective areas.
The Relevance of the Unique Anatomy of the Human Prefrontal Operculum to the Emergence of Speech
Céline Amiez, Charles Verstraete, Jérôme Sallet, Fadila Hadj-Bouziane, Suliann Ben Hamed, Adrien Meguerditchian, Emmanuel Procyk, et al. 2023. Communications Biology 6 (1): 693 — @HAL Identifying the evolutionary origins of human speech remains a topic of intense scientific interest. Here we describe a unique feature of adult human neuroanatomy compared to chimpanzees and other primates […]
A Revised Perspective on the Evolution of the Lateral Frontal Cortex in Primates
Céline Amiez, Jérôme Sallet, Camille Giacometti, Charles Verstraete, Clémence Gandaux, Valentine Morel-Latour, Adrien Meguerditchian, et al. 2023. Science Advances 9 (20): eadf9445 — @HAL Detailed neuroscientific data from macaque monkeys have been essential in advancing understanding of human frontal cortex function, particularly for regions of frontal cortex without homologs in other model species. However, precise […]
Effects of Biscriptuality on Graphomotor Coordination Dynamics
Gaëlle Alhaddad, Jérémy Danna, Celeste Younes-Harb, Jean-Luc Velay, and Marieke Longcamp. 2023. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance 49 (2): 177–87 — @HAL Biscriptuality is the ability to write in two different writing systems. The aim of this study was toexamine the effects of biscriptuality on graphomotor coordination dynamics in right-handed adults.Thirty-four French […]
Effects of Shared Attention on Joint Language Production across Processing Stages
Giusy Cirillo, Kristof Strijkers, Elin Runnqvist, and Cristina Baus. 2023. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, September, 1–12 — @HAL Shared attention across individuals is a crucial component of joint activities, modulating how we perceive relevant information. In this study, we explored shared attention in language production and memory across separate representation levels. In a shared go/no-go […]
The Effect of Familiarity on Neural Tracking of Music Stimuli Is Modulated by Mind Wandering
Joan Belo, Maureen Clerc, and Daniele Schön. 2023. AIMS Neuroscience 10 (4): 319–31 — @HAL This study used a novel word learning paradigm to investigate the role of morphology in the acquisition of complex words, when participants have no prior lexical knowledge of the embedded morphemic constituents. The influence of morphological family size on novel […]
The Role of Morphemic Knowledge during Novel Word Learning
Ali Behzadnia, Johannes C. Ziegler, Danielle Colenbrander, Audrey Bürki, and Elisabeth Beyersmann. 2023. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 0, (0) — @HAL This study used a novel word learning paradigm to investigate the role of morphology in the acquisition of complex words, when participants have no prior lexical knowledge of the embedded morphemic constituents. The […]
Decomposing Neural Circuit Function into Information Processing Primitives
Nicole Voges, Johannes Hausmann, Andrea Brovelli, and Demian Battaglia. 2024. Journal of Neuroscience 10 January 2024, 44 (2) e0157232023 — @HAL It is challenging to measure how specific aspects of coordinated neural dynamics translate into operations of information processing and, ultimately, cognitive functions. An obstacle is that simple circuit mechanisms—such as self-sustained or propagating activity […]
Age- and Sex-Related Differences in Baboon (Papio Anubis) Gray Matter Covariation
Michelle M. Mulholland, Adrien Meguerditchian, and William D. Hopkins. 2023. Neurobiology of Aging 125 (May): 41–48. — @HAL Age-related changes in cognition, brain morphology, and behavior are exhibited in several primate species. Baboons, like humans, naturally develop Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology and cognitive declines with age and are an underutilized model for studies of aging. To […]
