A comparison of functional activation and connectivity of the cerebellum in adults and children during single word processing
Brain Lang. 2023 Nov;246:105346. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105346. Epub 2023 Oct 29.ABSTRACTMeta-analyses on reading show cerebellar activation in adults, but not children, suggesting a possible age-dependent role of the cerebellum in reading. However, the few studies that compare adults and children during reading report mixed cerebellar activation results. Here, we studied (i) cerebellar activation during implicit word processing in adults and children and (ii) functional connectivity (FC) between the cerebellum and left cortical regions involved in reading. First, both groups activated bilateral cerebellum for word proc...

Individual differences in neural markers of beat processing relate to spoken grammar skills in six-year-old children
Brain Lang. 2023 Nov;246:105345. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105345. Epub 2023 Oct 31.ABSTRACTBased on the idea that neural entrainment establishes regular attentional fluctuations that facilitate hierarchical processing in both music and language, we hypothesized that individual differences in syntactic (grammatical) skills will be partly explained by patterns of neural responses to musical rhythm. To test this hypothesis, we recorded neural activity using electroencephalography (EEG) while children (N = 25) listened passively to rhythmic patterns that induced different beat percepts. Analysis of evoked beta and gamma activ...

Cross-language generalization of language treatment in multilingual people with post-stroke aphasia: A meta-analysis
Brain Lang. 2023 Nov;246:105326. doi: 10.1016/j.bandl.2023.105326. Epub 2023 Oct 31.ABSTRACTStudies on the efficacy of language treatment for multilingual people with post-stroke aphasia and its generalization to untreated languages have produced mixed results. We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis to examine within- and cross-language treatment effects and the variables that affect them. We searched PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Google Scholar (February 2020; January 2023), identifying 40 studies reporting on 1573 effect sizes from 85 individuals. We synthesized effect sizes for treatment outcomes using a m...
