The capacity for language enables humans to flexibly link meaning to sound or sign by means of grammar. Significantly, the computations underlying this ability appear to be fundamentally abstract and therefore potentially independent of the modality …
Introduction. Congenital deafness and sign language acquisition provide a unique model for investigating how sensory and language-related experience shape structural brain organization. Neuroimaging studies have consistently demonstrated that sign …
Introduction: Syntax, the ability to combine discrete linguistic elements into hierarchically structured expressions, is a defining feature of human language. In cognitive neuroscience, syntactic processing encompasses the retrieval and manipulation …
Introduction Broca’s region is a key region involved in language processing and has also been reported in experiments on action processing. We have previously mapped areas 44 and 45 in histological sections of ten human brains using an …
This lecture explores how the core and extended language networks of the brain are organized and what current research reveals about their function, structure, and development (Trettenbrein & Friederici, 2025). Against this general background, two …
Sprache ist gleichzeitig soziales Phänomen und biologisches Merkmal des Menschen. In diesem Impulsvortrag widmen wir uns den Grundlagen von Gebärdensprachen in Gesellschaft und Gehirn aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, und bieten den Teilnehmern …
This study presents a refined cytoarchitectonic parcellation of Broca’s region into four distinct subdivisions (44p, 44a, 45p, and 45a), revealing clear microstructural and functional differentiation. High-resolution 3D reconstructions and …
The capacity for language enables humans to flexibly link meaning to sound or sign by means of grammar. Significantly, the computations underlying this ability appear to be fundamentally abstract and therefore at least to an extent independent of the …
Introduction: Functional localizers in fMRI enable the precise and participant-specific identification of voxels that respond to a particular cognitive function or task of interest (e.g., Kanwisher et al., 1997; Saxe et al., 2006) and have been …
Introduction: The major networks implicated in language processing can also be discerned using resting-state MRI and several studies have used data-driven approaches to study whole-brain resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) in deaf signers. …
