Microstructure of white matter association tracts in the temporal lobe predicts the timing of electrophysiological activity and behaviour in picture naming

This study links white matter microstructure to electrophysiological timing and naming performance by analyzing diffusion, electrophysiological, and behavioral data.

Posterior language areas share electrophysiological signatures of word retrieval in context-driven object and action naming

The paper compares neural processing of object and action words using EEG, finding spatial and spectral differences in brain areas involved in word retrieval.

Shared and distinct oscillatory fingerprints underlying episodic memory and word retrieval

This study compares oscillatory patterns in EEG data during episodic memory and word retrieval tasks, finding similarities in right parietal regions and differences in other areas.

Neural dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control in medial and lateral prefrontal cortex

The paper investigates neural dynamics in medial and lateral prefrontal cortex during proactive and reactive cognitive control using intracranial EEG in a Stroop task with manipulated conflict frequency.

Neural oscillations in the aging brain associated with interference control in word production

This study examines neural oscillations in older adults during word production, finding beta power decreases instead of theta modulation observed in young adults, suggesting age-related changes in interference control mechanisms.

Functional Roles of Sensorimotor Alpha and Beta Oscillations in Overt Speech Production

The paper reviews EEG/MEG studies on sensorimotor alpha and beta oscillations in speech production, finding functional dissociation with alpha linked to sensory feedback and beta to motor processes.

Domain-general cognitive control processes in bilingual switching: evidence from midfrontal theta oscillations

This study examines midfrontal theta oscillations in bilingual switching tasks to assess whether cognitive control processes are domain-general or domain-specific.

The impact of CSF-filled cavities on scalp EEG and its implications

This paper shows that CSF-filled cavities significantly affect scalp EEG amplitude and topography, making group comparisons difficult to interpret without accounting for this confounding factor.

Transient perturbation of the left temporal cortex evokes plasticity-related reconfiguration of the lexical network

This study shows that disrupting the left middle temporal gyrus with cTBS leads to reconfiguration of the lexical network, recruiting prefrontal regions for lexical-semantic processing.

Lesion evidence for a critical role of left posterior but not frontal areas in alpha-beta power decreases during context-driven word production

The paper investigates the role of brain regions in alpha-beta power decreases during context-driven word production, finding that left posterior areas, not frontal areas, are critical for this effect.

Impaired lexical selection with competing distractors: Evidence from left temporal lesions

This study examines semantic interference in patients with left temporal or frontal lesions, finding that left-temporal patients show increased errors in word production tasks involving related distractors.

Neuroplasticity of language in left-hemisphere stroke: evidence linking subsecond electrophysiology and structural connections

The paper links subsecond electrophysiological changes with structural connectivity in language recovery after left-hemisphere stroke.
