White-matter alterations in right-hemispheric language pathways in deaf signers

Language processing relies on a distributed network of white-matter pathways connecting frontal, temporal, and parietal regions of cortex. While the arcuate fasciculus in the left hemisphere connecting the posterior inferior frontal gyrus to the …

Language-related cortical pathways in deaf signers: Core invariance and modality-specific variability

Introduction: Language processing in the adult neurotypical brain is subserved by several white-matter pathways which connect inferior frontal, temporal, and parietal language-relevant cortical regions. Here, we used diffusion-weighted MRI to compare …
