💥 New publication! 💥 Using fMRI in younger and older adults, we show that brain representations of taxonomic relationships (e.g., dog–bear) and thematic relationships (e.g., dog–leash) depend on task and aging: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🧠 How do semantic and executive control dissociate in the frontal lobe? Applying TMS to IFG and pre-SMA, we find: ⚡ Specialization ▸ IFG = semantic (and executive) control ▸ pre-SMA = executive functions 🔄 Compensation between both regions during single-site disruption! Read more: shorturl.at/UVtRk

Postdoc @drsandramartin.bsky.social presented her research on aging effects on predictive processing in language at the Dallas Aging and Cognition Conference this week. Results show that as we age, we increasingly rely on our internal predictions, possibly as compensation for executive decline. 1/2

DCM is just a framework for estimating the statistical evidence for state-space models, which are fitted to time series data using Bayesian methods. Each model is a hypothesis. So the question is, what's the right data and models for your question. [1/5]
