The neural correlates of referential communication: Taking advantage of sparse-sampling fMRI to study verbal communication with a real interaction partner.

This paper introduces an innovative functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) protocol to study real verbal interactions while limiting the impact of speech-related movement artefacts. This protocol is based on a sparse sampling acquisition technique and allowed participants to complete a referential communication task with a real interaction partner. During verbal interactions, speakers adjust their verbal productions depending on their interlocutors' knowledge of the referents being mentioned.

A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis on PTSD Following TBI Among Military/Veteran and Civilian Populations.

Objectives: To determine whether persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at greater risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than other trauma-exposed populations without TBI, and whether this risk is even greater in military/veteran settings than in civilian settings.

Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in 7 databases. Reference lists from the 33 identified studies and other relevant reviews were also searched.
