C7 neurotomy added to standard speech therapy enhances language recovery in patients with chronic post-stroke aphasia, a randomized trial suggests.

Cats are known for their quirky habits, but one behavior might have a deeper evolutionary significance. According to a new ...

Investigators identified shared brain correlates of grip strength, well-being, and global function. The three brain networks ...

In a significant leap forward for successful cancer surgery, researchers at the University of Missouri and collaborators have ...

Left-brain dominant people are more likely to be clinical and cold in their judgments and problem-solving. Language recognition is a function of the left hemisphere, too, and that makes languages ...

Left and right brains hear speech differently, yet how this divide forms was unclear − until mouse studies showed each hemisphere runs on its own developmental clock.

My lab has shown that mice process sound differently in the left and right hemispheres of their brains, and we have worked to tease apart the underlying circuitry. For example, we’ve found the left ...

Some of the most complex cognitive functions are possible because different sides of your brain control them. Chief among them is speech perception, the ability to interpret language. In people ...

For example, we’ve found the left side of the brain has more focused, specialized connections that may help detect key features of speech, such as distinguishing one word from another.
