Herein, the literature regarding functional imaging of the thalamus during language tasks is
reviewed. Fifty studies met criteria for analysis. Two of the most common task paradigms …

The influence of adult foreign-language acquisition on human brain organization is poorly
understood. We studied cortical thickness and hippocampal volumes of conscript …

The role of corticostriatal circuits in language functions is unclear. In this review, we consider
evidence from language learning, syntax, and controlled language production and …

A temporal motor defect in speech preparation and/or planning may contribute to the
development of stuttering. This defect may be linked to a dysfunctional cortical-subcortical …

Word learning is basic to foreign language acquisition, however time consuming and not
always successful. Empirical studies have shown that traditional (visual) word learning can …

Several investigations have shown language impairments following electrode implantation
surgery for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in movement disorders. The impact of the actual …

The aim of this study was to identify differences in functional and effective brain connectivity
between persons who stutter (PWS) and typically developing (TD) fluent speakers, and to …

Adult language learners show distinct abilities in acquiring a new language, yet the
underlying neural mechanisms remain elusive. Previous studies suggested that resting-state …

Abstract Background Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the thalamic ventral intermediate
nucleus (VIM) is a therapeutic option for patients with essential tremor. Despite a generally …

Learning words through contextual inference is a key way to enlarge one's vocabulary
especially for adults. However, few studies focused on the effects of different information …
