Revisiting atypical language lateralization in dyslexia

This study examines hemispheric lateralization in adults with dyslexia and controls using fMRI, finding inconsistent rather than universally weaker lateralization patterns in dyslexia.

The individual brain: mapping variability in hemispheric functional organization across cognitive domains in a representative sample

This study maps hemispheric functional organization variability across cognitive domains in a representative sample of 200 participants, finding greater deviation from typical patterns in left-handers and no cognitive advantage for the prototypical brain organization.

Neural substrates and behavioral relevance of speech envelope tracking: evidence from post-stroke aphasia

This study investigates neural envelope tracking in post-stroke aphasia, finding that lesions in language areas like the middle temporal gyrus are associated with poorer tracking, and that tracking relates to auditory and language skills.

Individualized functional localization of the language and multiple demand network in chronic post-stroke aphasia

This study investigates whether the multiple demand network is involved in language processing in chronic post-stroke aphasia using individualized functional localization.

Fibre-specific laterality of white matter in left and right language dominant people

This study uses fixel-based analysis to examine white matter lateralisation in individuals with left and right language dominance, finding similar patterns with some group differences in the forceps minor.

Preparation for mental effort recruits Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex: an fNIRS investigation

This study uses fNIRS to show increased DLPFC activity during anticipation of mental effort, replicating fMRI findings and demonstrating fNIRS's utility for studying effort preparation.
