Modulation of neural responses to speech by directing attention to voices or verbal content

Abstract

We studied with functional neuroimaging the cortical response to auditory sentences, comparing two recognition tasks that either targeted the speaker's voice or the verbal content. The right anterior superior temporal sulcus responded during the voice but not during the verbal content task. This response was therefore specifically related to the analysis of nonverbal features of speech. However, the dissociation between verbal and nonverbal analysis was only partial. Left middle temporal regions previously implicated in semantic processing responded in both tasks. This indicates that implicit semantic processing occurred even when the task directed attention to nonverbal input analysis. The verbal task yielded greater bilateral activation in the fusiform/lingual region, presumably reflecting an implicit translation of auditory sentences into visual representations. This result confirms the participation of visual cortical regions in verbal analysis of speech.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
