It is finally out! Thanks to the reviewers for all the valuable suggestions. Thanks to all co-authors for the revising. 🥳🥳🥳 doi.org/10.1016/j.neur… Brain Networks Lab FriedericiLab MPI für Kognitions- & Neurowissenschaften

🆕📰New paper led by FriedericiLab's @xuehu04960361 together w/ Helyne Adamson, M. Schwendemann, Tomás Goucha, A. Friederici & Alfred Anwander: "Native language differences in the structural connectome of the human brain" Read here (#openaccess): doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Die #Muttersprache, die wir sprechen, prägt die Verschaltung in unserem #Gehirn und kann unser Denken beeinflussen. Das zeigen SprachforscherInnen des FriedericiLab in ihrer Studie NeuroImage 📃 🧠 cbs.mpg.de/2112969/202316… Team um Alfred Anwander macht Verbindungen sichtbar:

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 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… collab Alfred Anwander @CornEichner FriedericiLab @chet_sherwood

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 Dr. Julie M. Schneider's team is growing fast!👏👏👏

Interesting

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. mpi.nl/news/grambank-…

Get to know our new fellow Gesa Hartwigsen who is a professor at UNIVERSITÄT LEIPZIG and researches for example on the plasticity of language networks. She recently published the largest meta analysis on language processing: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-… #passionforscience 👍🏻✍🏾🧠

A great job by Joëlle Schroën

Super grateful to my supervisors,all colleagues, and friends.

Congratulations to Ying 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

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

Great recognition for our study
