The paper investigates neural synchronization during sentence comprehension and finds that it is driven by structural rather than lexical features, with distinct frequency and phase dimensions for structural processing.

This study shows brain tumors cause structural changes in the opposite hemisphere, detected via PCA and linked to cognitive performance.

This study investigates how young children process degraded speech using eye-tracking and fNIRS, finding increased visual attention to the mouth with degraded speech and age-related differences in brain activity.

This study uses resting-state functional connectivity to track network-level changes in brain tumour patients before and after surgery, finding persistent alterations and preoperative segregation predicting cognitive recovery.

This paper investigates how skilled deaf readers achieve high reading proficiency through alternative orthographic processing strategies, finding differences in letter identity processing compared to hearing controls.

The paper examines electrophysiological differences between high and low cognitive reserve groups during rest and cognitive tasks, finding task-dependent variations in ERP and alpha activity.

NEUROLINGUA provides a database of MRI data from multilingual individuals to study how sociolinguistic factors shape language comprehension networks.

This study examines how bilingualism affects neural processing of speech in 4-month-old infants, finding distinct brain activity patterns in bilingual infants compared to monolingual infants.

This study shows that early neural responses to delta-rate non-verbal auditory stimuli predict reading skills one year later.

This study uses MEG and MVPA to show early dissociation in brain activity for number and letter processing, with stronger dissociation in strings than single items.

This study examines how high cognitive reserve (HCR) in older adults affects neural activity during executive control tasks, finding that HCR maintains neural patterns similar to young adults.

The paper examines the structural brain correlates of reading abilities and finds genetic influences on brain-reading associations, highlighting left hemisphere cortical measures as partially genetically driven.

This study uses MEG and machine learning to show that language selection in bilinguals can be decoded from neural activity, with distinct brain regions involved in picture naming and word reading.

The paper uses MEG to show that children's audiovisual brain circuits change with reading experience, detecting letter-speech sound correspondences within 400 ms.

The paper introduces MULTIMAP, a multilingual picture naming test for language mapping during awake brain surgery, addressing cross-linguistic variability in existing tests.

This study finds no differences in the intrinsic functional organization of 4-month-old monolingual and bilingual infants' brains using fNIRS.

The paper investigates how linguistic input influences brain network configuration during language comprehension using fMRI and graph theory.

This study uses fMRI to investigate whether multilinguals use similar prefrontal mechanisms for word retrieval as monolinguals, finding proactive control involves boosting target language lexical activation.

The paper examines how the brain tracks speech rhythms during self-produced speech and listening, finding differences in phrasal and syllabic tracking between reading aloud and listening.

The paper investigates structural brain differences between bilinguals and monolinguals in children and the elderly using diffusion MRI and network-based statistics, finding that bilingualism may increase neural reserve in ageing.

This study tests whether bilingualism improves executive functions and working memory in young adults, finding no overall advantage but some differences in specific tasks.
