White matter plasticity during second language learning within and across hemispheres.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
January 2024
Adult second language (L2) learning is a challenging enterprise inducing neuroplastic changes in the human brain. However, it remains unclear how the structural language connectome and its subnetworks change during adult L2 learning. The current study investigated longitudinal changes in white matter (WM) language networks in each hemisphere, as well as their interconnection, in a large group of Arabic-speaking adults who learned German intensively for 6 mo.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on individuals with early phase psychosis (EPP) and found that a significant portion (about 25%) reported a history of legal issues like arrests or incarceration shortly after joining a treatment clinic.
- - Data analysis revealed that 39% of participants had multiple traffic violations or criminal convictions, which is more than double the national average, with drug and alcohol-related offenses being the most frequent types.
- - The findings suggest that specialty clinics should collaborate with experts in criminal behavior management, and future research should look into the risk factors associated with criminal convictions in individuals with EPP.
Causal evidence for a coordinated temporal interplay within the language network.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
November 2023
Recent neurobiological models on language suggest that auditory sentence comprehension is supported by a coordinated temporal interplay within a left-dominant brain network, including the posterior inferior frontal gyrus (pIFG), posterior superior temporal gyrus and sulcus (pSTG/STS), and angular gyrus (AG). Here, we probed the timing and causal relevance of the interplay between these regions by means of concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG). Our TMS-EEG experiments reveal region- and time-specific causal evidence for a bidirectional information flow from left pSTG/STS to left pIFG and back during auditory sentence processing.

The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb^{-1} recorded at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV using the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Multivariate discriminants are used to distinguish the signal process from the main backgrounds.

Methods: Early-stage NSCLC patients treated with definitive SBRT were identified in the National Cancer Database (NCDB), and OS was determined based on method of staging.
