"Our self-domestication might have potentiated the cognitive features of the human phenotype with an impact on language acquisition & use. It might have facilitated the creation of the cultural niche that favors the complexification of languages via a cultural mechanism."

New paper from us 👇 Great to see this out.

I hope you will all join me in expressing your thanks to the NIH and NSF staff who are working in an impossibly difficult and chaotic environment to keep science going in our country.

I think this is in conflict with the scientific evidence about a lateralized linguistic network in the brain that leads to aphasia after brain lesions. The discussion about boundaries is valuable, of course. But we should acknowledge that some brain areas contribute to language only indirectly

🗣️ Language is widely distributed throughout the brain 🧠 In a recent correspondence in @natrevneurosci.bsky.social, we suggest that there is no 'language network' in the brain. What appears as such is an inevitable illusion created in part by the methods we use. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What about these functional gradients in cerebral cortex? From perceptual to executive memory, from sensori-motor to semantic/conceptual memory? Do you find this map to be consistent with clinical facts and neurocognitive research?

How do specific brain regions contribute to fear and anxiety? Although this approach is common, I propose we think of brain circuits instead. This is because brain regions are so richly interconnected that one can think of 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁. #neuroscience
