Neurophysiological distinction of action words in the fronto-central cortex.

TL;DR: The findings are interpreted in the framework of a neurobiological model of language and the possible role of mirror neurons in the premotor cortex in language processing is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decomposing Components of Task Preparation with Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

TL;DR: This study introduces a new experimental manipulation to investigate task preparation with fMRI and suggests that task preparation does not differ for switch and repetition trials in paradigms with a high proportion of switch trials, casting doubt on the assumption that an independent task set reconfiguration process takes place in the preparation interval.

Exploring the connectivity between the cerebellum and motor cortex in humans

TL;DR: It is suggested that cerebellar stimulation results in changes to both inhibitory and excitatory neurones in the human motor cortex.

Language-association cortex asymmetry in autism and specific language impairment

TL;DR: The observation of reversed asymmetry in frontal language cortex reported previously in an independent autism sample is replicated, and similar reversal in boys with SLI is observed, further strengthening a phenotypic link between SLI and a subgroup of autism.

Differences in eye movements and reading problems in dyslexic and normal children.

TL;DR: The presence of oculomotor abnormalities in a non-reading task strongly suggests that the underlying deficit in the control of eye movements seen in dyslexics is not caused by language problems alone.

The binomial distribution of right, mixed and left-handedness

TL;DR: Right, mixed and left handers are found in binomial proportions in seven samples of varied subjects whose lateral preferences were ascertained by several methods.

Handedness in musicians

TL;DR: In this article, the authors made an inquiry by means of a questionnaire which included a "handedness inventory" into the prevalence of left-handedness among musicians, and the difficulties, if any, which lefthanders experienced in acquiring executant skills.
