A fresh take on an age-old question! An exciting study just dropped that reexamines the connection between corpus callosum structure and functional brain laterality.

Excited to share our latest preprint on the retest reliability of measuring 'bilateral' hemispheric language dominance using functional neuroimaging! 🔎🧠🔍 Discover how our findings inform the challenging classification of 'small' asymmetries in brain activation: osf.io/ry4sf_v1

New publication from our lab! @sabrinaturker.bsky.social, @philkuhnke.bsky.social, @vincentcheung.bsky.social, Konstantin Weise and @gesahartwigsen.bsky.social show that neurostimulation can improve reading skills in dyslexia, mediated via functional coupling changes within the reading network.

New preprint from our lab!! 🥳🍾 With a novel dual-site TMS design, @philkuhnke.bsky.social and his colleagues show that the multimodal left inferior parietal cortex and auditory cortex jointly contribute to sound knowledge retrieval:
