TL;DR: Results showed training-induced plasticity in regions that are thought to be critical in working memory, including regions adjacent to the intraparietal sulcus and the anterior part of the body of the corpus callosum after training.

TL;DR: It is suggested that, in addition to age of L2 acquisition and L2 proficiency, differences in grammatical construction affect cortical representation during the comprehension of L1 and L1.

TL;DR: Although verbs are basically processed in the same cortical network as nouns, nouns and verbs elicit different degrees of activation due to the cognitive demands involved in lexical semantic processing, demonstrating that the left inferior frontal cortex is related to the processing of verbal inflectional morphology.

TL;DR: A focused narrative review based on the previous studies that have examined the relationship between ASE and online academic performance in an online learning environment is outlined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the cortical correlates of scrambling effects, a free word order phenomenon that has been observed in a variety of cross-linguistic investigations but whose mechanism still remains unclarified, and found that scrambled sentences have a more complex structure than canonical sentences, and that the former requires a greater burden on cognitive processes in related areas within the brain.
