Functional preference of the left inferior parietal lobule to second language reading

Jia Zhang et al.

Summary: Previous research has reported additional neural changes in the brain when reading in a second language. However, there has been little investigation into whether this adaptation is induced by specific linguistic tasks or is a general effect during reading in a new language. Our study investigated Chinese children learning English as a second language and found that the left inferior parietal lobule (LIPL) showed greater activation in English compared to Chinese, suggesting a functional preference for the LIPL in the second language. This activation was mainly observed in the phonological task, indicating an association between LIPL and phonological processing.

Distinct roles for the anterior temporal lobe and angular gyrus in the spatiotemporal cortical semantic network

Seyedeh-Rezvan Farahibozorg et al.

Summary: This study explores the characteristics of a semantic hub through analyzing the spatiotemporal modulation of neural activity and connectivity. The results support the view that there is a single semantic hub, with the left anterior temporal lobe showing sustained modulation of neural activity by semantics and the connectivity between the anterior temporal lobe and the supramarginal/angular gyrus differing depending on the stage of semantic processing.

Task modulation of spatiotemporal dynamics in semantic brain networks: An EEG/MEG study

Setareh Rahimi et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the brain shows different patterns of activity when processing visual lexical and semantic tasks, with differences in activation and connectivity at different stages. Combining evoked and functional connectivity analysis, it is found that brain activity and connections between brain regions vary under different task conditions.

Suppression of non-selected solutions as a possible brain mechanism for ambiguity resolution in the word fragment task completion task

Maxim Kireev et al.

Summary: The research focuses on the brain's processing of ambiguous stimuli with multiple meanings, especially the less investigated processing of non-selected meanings. The study uses functional MRI event-related techniques to reveal the brain mechanisms involved in implicit processing of non-selected solutions. The findings suggest that ambiguity resolution involves decreased brain activity in language processing regions.

Evidence for the Concreteness of Abstract Language: A Meta-Analysis of Neuroimaging Studies

Nicola Del Maschio et al.

Summary: The neural mechanisms underlying the processing of abstract concepts are still debated. This study suggests that concrete and abstract concepts may rely on similar neural mechanisms, with differences in the complexity of underlying experiences. Through a meta-analysis of functional neuroimaging studies, the results indicate that concrete and abstract concepts share certain neural circuits, but differ in the recruitment of specific brain regions.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of orthographic and lexical processing in the ventral visual pathway

Oscar Woolnough et al.

Summary: Through direct intra-cranial recordings, researchers identified the mid-fusiform cortex as the first brain region sensitive to lexicality, driven by natural language statistics; information regarding lexicality and word frequency propagates backward from this region to visual word form regions and earlier visual cortex, impacting reading efficiency.

The Graded Priming Effect of Semantic Radical on Chinese Character Recognition

Xiuhong Tong et al.

Summary: This study used a priming paradigm to examine the effects of semantic relatedness on Chinese phonetic-semantic compound character identification. Results showed a graded priming effect of the semantic radical on character recognition, with the most facilitative effect observed in the highly related condition, followed by the minimally related, form-only, and control conditions. This suggests a systematic influence of the semantic radical on character identification.
