What aspects of language are universal, and which are due to familiarity? A @nature.com paper finds that while STG shows shared responses to basic speech sounds, only native language boosts encoding of word boundaries + sound-sequence stats 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Shared and language-specific phonological processing in the human temporal lobe - Nature
The human superior temporal gyrus processes acoustic–phonetic properties of speech regardless of whether the language is familiar to the listener, but only encodes word boundaries and language-sp...

Ever wondered if your interesting brain-behavior correlation was over- or under-estimated due to head motion, but were afraid to ask? We’ve created a motion impact score for detecting spurious brain-behavior associations, now available in Nature Communications!

My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!
