Geoff D. Green II; Ewa Jacewicz; Hendrik Santosa; Lian J. Arzbecker; Robert A. Fox – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: We explore a new approach to the study of cognitive effort involved in listening to speech by measuring the brain activity in a listener in relation to the brain activity in a speaker. We hypothesize that the strength of this brain-to-brain synchrony (coupling) reflects the magnitude of cognitive effort involved in verbal communication…

Meaghan Perdue – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Reading is a complex task that requires integration of information across brain systems that support sensory, language and cognitive processing. Individuals vary widely in reading ability: some read almost effortlessly, while others struggle to make sense of printed text. Factors at multiple levels from genes and brain through environment…

Wong, Edwin W.; Glasgow, Stephen D.; Trigiani, Lianne J.; Chitsaz, Daryan; Rymar, Vladimir; Sadikot, Abbas; Ruthazer, Edward S.; Hamel, Edith; Kennedy, Timothy E. – Learning & Memory, 2019
Netrin-1 was initially characterized as an axon guidance molecule that is essential for normal embryonic neural development; however, many types of neurons continue to express netrin-1 in the postnatal and adult mammalian brain. Netrin-1 and the netrin receptor DCC are both enriched at synapses. In the adult hippocampus, activity-dependent…

Gerwin, Katelyn L.; Brosseau-Lapré, Françoise; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: A growing body of research suggests that a deficit in speech perception abilities contributes to the development of speech sound disorder (SSD). However, little work has been done to characterize the neurophysiological processes indexing speech perception deficits in this population. The primary aim of this study was to compare the neural…

Stephens, Kate; Silk, Timothy J.; Anderson, Vicki; Hazell, Philip; Enticott, Peter G.; Sciberras, Emma – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) combined with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms (ADHD + ASD) have poorer social and emotional functioning than those with ADHD alone. However, no studies have specifically examined the associations between ASD symptoms, measures of social and emotional functioning and limbic…

Kearns, Devin M.; Hancock, Roeland; Hoeft, Fumiko; Pugh, Kenneth R.; Frost, Stephen J. – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2019
Advances in neurobiological research have created new opportunities for understanding and exploring dyslexia. The purpose of this article is to (a) provide a straightforward, although not overly simplified, overview of neurological research on dyslexia and (b) make connections between neurological research and classroom interventions for students…

Weinberger, Adam B.; Cortes, Robert A.; Green, Adam E.; Giordano, James – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
Recent research indicates that transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) of specific brain regions can successfully improve various forms of creative cognition. Although the endeavor to increase human creative capacity is intriguing from a neuroscientific perspective, and of interest to the general public, it raises numerous neuroethico-legal and…

Denis Paré; Gregory J. Quirk – npj Science of Learning, 2017
For the past 30 years, research on the amygdala has largely focused on the genesis of defensive behaviors as its main function. This focus originated from early lesion studies and was supported by extensive anatomical, physiological, and pharmacological data. Here we argue that while much data is consistent with the fear model of amygdala…

Bloom, Paul A.; Friedman, David; Xu, Judy; Vuorre, Matti; Metcalfe, Janet – Grantee Submission, 2018
This article investigates the relations among the tip-of-the-tongue (TOT) state, event related potentials (ERPs) to correct feedback to questions, and subsequent memory. ERPs were used to investigate neurocognitive responses to feedback to general information questions for which participants had expressed either being or not being in a TOT state.…

Meyer, Mariah A. A.; Corcoran, Kevin A.; Chen, Helen J.; Gallego, Sonia; Li, Guanguan; Tiruveedhula, Veda V.; Cook, James M.; Radulovic, Jelena – Learning & Memory, 2017
Retrieval of fear memories can be state-dependent, meaning that they are best retrieved if the brain states at encoding and retrieval are similar. Such states can be induced by activating extrasynaptic ?-aminobutyric acid type A receptors (GABAAR) with the broad a-subunit activator gaboxadol. However, the circuit mechanisms and specific subunits…

Wilson, Donna; Conyers, Marcus – Teachers College Press, 2020
This is the second edition of the seminal text designed to empower educators with an innovative and inspiring conceptual framework for effective teaching. This bestseller is grounded in the synergy of five big ideas for connecting mind, brain, and education research to classroom practice: neuroplasticity, potential, malleable intelligence, the…

Friedrich, Manuela; Friederici, Angela D. – Developmental Science, 2017
The present study explored the origins of word learning in early infancy. Using event-related potentials (ERP) we monitored the brain activity of 3-month-old infants when they were repeatedly exposed to several initially novel words paired consistently with each the same initially novel objects or inconsistently with different objects. Our results…

Ferrara, Nicole C.; Cullen, Patrick K.; Pullins, Shane P.; Rotondo, Elena K.; Helmstetter, Fred J. – Learning & Memory, 2017
Generalization of fear can involve abnormal responding to cues that signal safety and is common in people diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Differential auditory fear conditioning can be used as a tool to measure changes in fear discrimination and generalization. Most prior work in this area has focused on elevated amygdala activity…

Goode, Travis D.; Maren, Stephen – Learning & Memory, 2017
Surviving threats in the environment requires brain circuits for detecting (or anticipating) danger and for coordinating appropriate defensive responses (e.g., increased cardiac output, stress hormone release, and freezing behavior). The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is a critical interface between the "affective…

The serine protease inhibitor neuroserpin regulates the activity of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) in the nervous system. Neuroserpin expression is particularly prominent at late stages of neuronal development in most regions of the central nervous system (CNS), whereas it is restricted to regions related to learning and memory in the…
