New paper exploring the flexibility of control mechanisms in bilinguals is out in @cognitionjournal.bsky.social l! w/ @kalinkatimmer.bsky.social, Jakub Szewczyk, and Zofia Wodniecka. We ask if language context can affect language control in bilinguals. authors.elsevier.com/a/1meRF2Hx32... 👇🧵

The cerebellar components of the human language network
The cerebellum's capacity for neural computation is arguably unmatched. Yet despite evidence of cerebellar contributions to cognition, including language, its precise role remains debated. Here, we sy...

New brain/language study w/ @evfedorenko.bsky.social! We applied task-agnostic individualized functional connectomics (iFC) to the entire history of fMRI scanning in the Fedorenko lab, parcellating nearly 1200 brains into networks based on activity fluctuations alone. doi.org/10.1101/2025... . 🧵

A language network in the individualized functional connectomes of over 1,000 human brains doing arbitrary tasks
A century and a half of neuroscience has yielded many divergent theories of the neurobiology of language. Two factors that likely contribute to this situation include (a) conceptual disagreement…

Excited to share new work on the language system! Using a large fMRI dataset (n=772) we comprehensively search for language-selective regions across the brain. w/ Aaron Wright, @benlipkin.bsky.social, and @evfedorenko.bsky.social Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread below!👇🧵

The extended language network: Language selective brain areas whose contributions to language remain to be discovered
Although language neuroscience has largely focused on core left frontal and temporal brain areas and their right-hemisphere homotopes, numerous other areas - cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar - ha...
