Using naturalistic movie fMRI, we reveal a dual-architecture principle underlying how large-scale brain networks organize during complex, dynamic stimulation.

Great recognition for our study

[Xuehu Wei @XuehuWei]

The brain is a highly experience-dependent organ. Learning a new language can lead to dynamic changes in our brain network.

Learning a second #language rewires your #brain to communicate and think in the new language.

Congratulations to @FriedericiLab's @XuehuWei (@MPI_CBS, @INeurocom) who passed her PhD defence last week *summa cum laude*! 🥳🎉🍾

We wish her all the best for the future as she is already off to new academic adventures! 🎓

Happy that the first big part of my PhD is out @PNASNews!🧠🥳
Three #TMSEEG studies to probe the #causal dynamics of #comprehension. Extremely grateful to have worked with the wonderful Thomas Gunter, @num_ole, @LeonKroczek, @GesaHartwigsen @FriedericiLab https://t.co/Y3HsS1zIcj

Get to know our new fellow @GesaHartwigsen who is a professor at @UniLeipzig and researches for example on the plasticity of language networks. She recently published the largest meta analysis on language processing: https://t.co/eGBnZKzneG #passionforscience 👍🏻✍🏾🧠

Adult second language (L2) learning is a challenging enterprise inducing neuroplastic changes in the human brain.

Learning a new #language modulates the #connectivity in our brain - as function of the learning progress.

What shapes the structure of languages? The Grambank database, initiated by the MPI for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen and the MPI for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig contains a third of the world’s 7000 languages—and their grammatical structure.

Interesting

[Viorica Marian @VioricaMarian1]

Bilingual? You should try thinking problems through in two languages. Research suggests you may come to a different solution when thinking about a problem in a different language.

So proud to be associated with Julie's marvelous project! It was a miracle to acquire such a rich and interesting dataset with both statistical learning fMRI data and language samples from 5-7 year-olds between 2020 and 2021. And @JMSchneiderPhD's team is growing fast!👏👏👏

Pre-print alert! . We compared the human and chimpanzee brain to unravel how Broca's area evolved from a purely action region, to a bipartite system housing syntax and action. Check it at https://t.co/fh4aPi56PO
