Picture naming tasks are currently the gold standard for identifying and preserving language-related areas during awake brain surgery. With multilingual populations increasing worldwide, patients frequently need to be tested in more than one language. There is still no reliable testing instrument, as available batteries have been developed specific languages. Heterogeneity selection criteria stimuli leads differences, example, size, color, image quality, even names associated with pictures,...
Abstract Words representing objects (nouns) and words actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. While there is evidence regarding the organizational principles governing neural representation nouns verbs in monolingual speakers, little known about how this knowledge represented bilingual brain. To address gap, we recorded neuromagnetic signals while highly proficient Spanish–Basque bilinguals performed a picture-naming task tracked brain oscillatory dynamics...
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, spectro‐temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and relation anatomical changes is less well understood. Here, we combined magnetoencephalographic recordings with a proxy measure white matter investigate oscillatory activity supporting plasticity structural reshaping. First, cortical dynamics were acquired in group healthy controls during object action naming....
Abstract The role of the left temporoparietal cortex in speech production has been extensively studied during native language processing, proving crucial controlled lexico-semantic retrieval under varying cognitive demands. Yet, its bilinguals, fluent both and second languages, remains poorly understood. Here, we employed continuous theta burst stimulation to disrupt neural activity posterior middle-temporal gyrus (pMTG) angular (AG) while Italian–Friulian bilinguals performed a cued...
Abstract Bilinguals with a high proficiency in their first (L1) and second language (L2) often show comparable reaction times when switching from L1 to L2 vice-versa (“symmetrical switch costs”). However, the neurophysiological signatures supporting this effect are not well understood. Here, we ran two separate experiments assessed behavioral MEG responses highly proficient Spanish-Basque bilinguals while they overtly name pictures mixed-language context. In experiment, were slower naming...
Abstract Can lifelong bilingualism be robustly decoded from intrinsic brain connectivity? we determine, using a spectrally resolved approach, the oscillatory networks that better predict dual‐language experience? We recorded resting‐state magnetoencephalographic activity in highly proficient Spanish‐Basque bilinguals and Spanish monolinguals, calculated functional connectivity at canonical frequency bands, derived topological network properties graph analysis. These features were fed into...
