Traditionally, the frontotemporal arcuate fasciculus (AF) is viewed as a single entity in anatomo-clinical models. However, it is unclear if distinct cortical origin and termination patterns within this bundle correspond to specific language functions. We use track-weighted dynamic functional connectivity, a hybrid imaging technique, to study the AF structure and function in two distinct datasets of healthy subjects.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is used as a control irritant in patch testing for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). However, up to 20% of those tested react to SLS, whereby the pathophysiological basis of this reaction is still unclear. To mimic patch test reactions, we repeatedly applied SLS to the skin of wild-type mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists studied how differences in brain structure might affect language abilities in people.
  • They looked at data from 1,040 healthy people to see how the brain's wiring relates to language use.
  • The study found that people who rely more on the right side of the brain for language often have different brain connections compared to those who use the left side more, which is typical for most people.
