TL;DR: It is found in human subjects that activity in a network comprising dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, anterior insula, anterior prefrontal cortex and thalamus is positively correlated with global field power (GFP) of upper alpha band (10–12 Hz) oscillations, the most consistent electrical index of tonic alertness.

TL;DR: Following the previous findings that related alpha oscillation power to neural structures serving tonic control, the current findings link alpha phase synchrony to Neural structures underpinning phasic control of alertness and task requirements.

TL;DR: Using magnetoencephalography and behavioral tests, in dyslexic subjects a reduced left-hemisphere bias for phonemic processing is shown, reflected in less entrainment to ≈30 Hz acoustic modulations in left auditory cortex, and this deficit correlates with measures of phonological processing and rapid naming.

TL;DR: The results support theories of language lateralization that posit a major role for intrinsic, hardwired perceptuomotor processing in syllabic parsing and are compatible both with the evolutionary view that speech arose from a combination of syllable-sized vocalizations and meaningful hand gestures and with developmental observations suggesting phonemic analysis is a developmentally acquired process.

TL;DR: It is shown experimentally that the shared phrases found in the songs of neighbouring birds constitute a group signature used by birds for N–S discrimination, and serve as a basis for the dear-enemy effect.
