Although most previous studies have reported left-lateralized language processing, other studies found it to be bilateral. A previous neurocomputational model has proposed a unified framework to explain that the above discrepancy might be from healthy and patient individuals. This model posits an initial symmetry but imbalanced capacity in language processing for healthy individuals, with this imbalance contributing to language recovery disparities following different hemispheric injuries. The present study investigated this model by analyzing the lateralization patterns of language subnetworks across multiple attributes with a group of 99 patients (compared to nonlanguage processing) and examining the lateralization patterns of language subnetworks in subgroups with damage to different hemispheres. Subnetworks were identified using a whole-brain network-based lesion-symptom mapping method, and the lateralization index was quantitatively measured. We found that all the subnetworks in language processing were left-lateralized, while subnetworks in nonlanguage processing had different lateralization patterns. Moreover, diverse hemisphere-injury subgroups exhibited distinct language recovery effects. These findings provide robust support for the proposed neurocomputational model of language processing.}, keywords = {hemispheric lateralization; language processing; white matter network; NLSM}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1460-2199} } @article{MTMT:33617745, title = {Hemispheric Asymmetries of Individual Differences in Functional Connectivity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33617745}, author = {Perez, Diana C. and Dworetsky, Ally and Braga, Rodrigo M. and Beeman, Mark and Gratton, Caterina}, doi = {10.1162/jocn_a_01945}, journal-iso = {J COGNITIVE NEUROSCI}, journal = {JOURNAL OF COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {35}, unique-id = {33617745}, issn = {0898-929X}, abstract = {Resting-state fMRI studies have revealed that individuals exhibit stable, functionally meaningful divergences in large-scale network organization. The locations with strongest deviations (called network "variants") have a characteristic spatial distribution, with qualitative evidence from prior reports suggesting that this distribution differs across hemispheres. Hemispheric asymmetries can inform us on constraints guiding the development of these idiosyncratic regions. Here, we used data from the Human Connectome Project to systematically investigate hemispheric differences in network variants. Variants were significantly larger in the right hemisphere, particularly along the frontal operculum and medial frontal cortex. Variants in the left hemisphere appeared most commonly around the TPJ. We investigated how variant asymmetries vary by functional network and how they compare with typical network distributions. For some networks, variants seemingly increase group-average network asymmetries (e.g., the group-average language network is slightly bigger in the left hemisphere and variants also appeared more frequently in that hemisphere). For other networks, variants counter the group-average network asymmetries (e.g., the default mode network is slightly bigger in the left hemisphere, but variants were more frequent in the right hemisphere). Intriguingly, left- and right-handers differed in their network variant asymmetries for the cingulo-opercular and frontoparietal networks, suggesting that variant asymmetries are connected to lateralized traits. These findings demonstrate that idiosyncratic aspects of brain organization differ systematically across the hemispheres. We discuss how these asymmetries in brain organization may inform us on developmental constraints of network variants and how they may relate to functions differentially linked to the two hemispheres.}, keywords = {HUMAN BRAIN; CORTEX; LANGUAGE LATERALIZATION; episodic memory; Neurosciences; Retinotopic organization; OLDER-ADULTS; Cerebral asymmetry; CORTICAL AREA; DISTRIBUTED ASSOCIATION NETWORKS}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1530-8898}, pages = {200-225} } @article{MTMT:33618853, title = {The individuality of shape asymmetries of the human cerebral cortex}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33618853}, author = {Chen, Yu-Chi and Arnatkeviciute, Aurina and McTavish, Eugene and Pang, James C. and Chopra, Sidhant and Suo, Chao and Fornito, Alex and Aquino, Kevin M. and Initiative, Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging}, doi = {10.7554/eLife.75056}, journal-iso = {ELIFE}, journal = {ELIFE}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {33618853}, issn = {2050-084X}, abstract = {Asymmetries of the cerebral cortex are found across diverse phyla and are particularly pronounced in humans, with important implications for brain function and disease. However, many prior studies have confounded asymmetries due to size with those due to shape. Here, we introduce a novel approach to characterize asymmetries of the whole cortical shape, independent of size, across different spatial frequencies using magnetic resonance imaging data in three independent datasets. We find that cortical shape asymmetry is highly individualized and robust, akin to a cortical fingerprint, and identifies individuals more accurately than size-based descriptors, such as cortical thickness and surface area, or measures of inter-regional functional coupling of brain activity. Individual identifiability is optimal at coarse spatial scales (similar to 37 mm wavelength), and shape asymmetries show scale-specific associations with sex and cognition, but not handedness. While unihemispheric cortical shape shows significant heritability at coarse scales (similar to 65 mm wavelength), shape asymmetries are determined primarily by subject-specific environmental effects. Thus, coarse-scale shape asymmetries are highly personalized, sexually dimorphic, linked to individual differences in cognition, and are primarily driven by stochastic environmental influences.}, keywords = {SEX; HANDEDNESS; brain asymmetry; LARGE-SCALE; Left-handers; GRAY; GENETIC INFLUENCES; planum temporale; MATTER ASYMMETRIES}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2050-084X}, orcid-numbers = {Chen, Yu-Chi/0000-0001-9167-6417; Pang, James C./0000-0002-2461-2760; Aquino, Kevin M./0000-0002-7435-0236} } @article{MTMT:32706762, title = {Working Memory Training and Cortical Arousal in Healthy Older Adults: A Resting-State EEG Pilot Study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32706762}, author = {Spironelli, Chiara and Borella, Erika}, doi = {10.3389/fnagi.2021.718965}, journal-iso = {FRONT AGING NEUROSCI}, journal = {FRONTIERS IN AGING NEUROSCIENCE}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {32706762}, issn = {1663-4365}, abstract = {The current pilot study aimed to test the gains of working memory (WM) training, both at the short- and long-term, at a behavioral level, and by examining the electrophysiological changes induced by training in resting-state EEG activity among older adults. The study group included 24 older adults (from 64 to 75 years old) who were randomly assigned to a training group (TG) or an active control group (ACG) in a double-blind, repeated-measures experimental design in which open eyes, resting-state EEG recording, followed by a WM task, i.e., the Categorization Working Memory Span (CWMS) task, were collected before and after training, as well as at a 6-month follow-up session. At the behavioral level, medium to large Cohen's d effect sizes was found for the TG in immediate and long-term gains in the WM criterion task, as compared with small gains for the ACG. Regarding intrusion errors committed in the CWMS, an index of inhibitory control representing a transfer effect, results showed that medium to large effect sizes for immediate and long-term gains emerged for the TG, as compared to small effect sizes for the ACG. Spontaneous high-beta/alpha ratio analyses in four regions of interest (ROIs) revealed no pre-training group differences. Significantly greater TG anterior rates, particularly in the left ROI, were found after training, with frontal oscillatory responses being correlated with better post-training CWMS performance in only the TG. The follow-up analysis showed similar results, with greater anterior left high-beta/alpha rates among TG participants. Follow-up frontal high-beta/alpha rates in the right ROI were correlated with lower CWMS follow-up intrusion errors in only the TG. The present findings are further evidence of the efficacy of WM training in enhancing the cognitive functioning of older adults and their frontal oscillatory activity.

This study aimed to evaluate state-of-the-art of arcuate fasciculus (AF) tractography for surgical planning and explore the role of along-tract analyses in vivo for characterizing tumor histopathology. Methods: High angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) images were acquired for nine patients with tumors located in or near language areas (age: 41 +/- 14 years, mean +/- standard deviation; five males) and 32 healthy volunteers (age: 39 +/- 16 years; 16 males). Phonemic fluency task fMRI was acquired preoperatively for patients. AF tractography was performed using constrained spherical deconvolution diffusivity modeling and probabilistic fiber tracking. Along-tract analyses were performed, dividing the AF into 15 segments along the length of the tract defined using the Laplacian operator. For each AF segment, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measures were compared with those obtained in healthy controls (HCs). The hemispheric laterality index (LI) was calculated from language task fMRI activations in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobe parcellations. Tumors were grouped into low/high grade (LG/HG). Results: Four tumors were LG gliomas (one dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor and three glioma grade II) and five HG gliomas (two grade III and three grade IV). For LG tumors, gross total removal was achieved in all but one case, for HG in two patients. Tractography identified the AF trajectory in all cases. Four along-tract DTI measures potentially discriminated LG and HG tumor patients (false discovery rate < 0.1): the number of abnormal MD and RD segments, median AD, and MD measures. Both a higher number of abnormal AF segments and a higher AD and MD measures were associated with HG tumor patients. Moreover, correlations (unadjusted p < 0.05) were found between the parietal lobe LI and the DTI measures, which discriminated between LG and HG tumor patients. In particular, a more rightward parietal lobe activation (LI < 0) correlated with a higher number of abnormal MD segments (R = -0.732) and RD segments (R = -0.724). Conclusions: AF tractography allows to detect the course of the tract, favoring the safer-as-possible tumor resection. Our preliminary study shows that along-tract DTI metrics can provide useful information for differentiating LG and HG tumors during pre-surgical tumor characterization.}, keywords = {DIFFERENTIATION; Metastases; neurosurgery; functional MRI; tractography; Clinical Neurology; high-grade gliomas; Corticospinal tract; language network; Constrained spherical deconvolution; arcuate fasciculus; Subcortical stimulation; Along-tract; gliomas grading; fMRI laterality index; DTI FIBER TRACKING; LANGUAGE PATHWAYS}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1664-2295}, orcid-numbers = {Talozzi, Lia/0000-0003-1827-0407; Asioli, Sofia/0000-0002-5035-2448; Rochat, Magali Jane/0000-0003-4777-0312} } @article{MTMT:31424638, title = {A large-scale estimate on the relationship between language and motor lateralization}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31424638}, author = {Packheiser, Julian and Schmitz, Judith and Arning, Larissa and Beste, Christian and Guentuerkuen, Onur and Ocklenburg, Sebastian}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-020-70057-3}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {31424638}, issn = {2045-2322}, abstract = {Human language is dominantly processed in the left cerebral hemisphere in most of the population.

In this study, we comprised data from 1,554 individuals sampled in three previous studies in which language lateralization measured via dichotic listening, handedness and footedness were assessed. Overall, we found a right ear advantage indicating typical left-hemispheric language lateralization in 82.1% of the participants. While we found significantly more left-handed individuals with atypical language lateralization on the categorical level, we only detected a very weak positive correlation between dichotic listening lateralization quotients (LQs) and handedness LQs using continuous measures. Here, only 0.4% of the variance in language lateralization were explained by handedness. We complemented these analyses with Bayesian statistics and found no evidence in favor of the hypothesis that language lateralization and handedness are related. Footedness LQs were not correlated with dichotic listening LQs, but individuals with atypical language lateralization also exhibited higher rates of atypical footedness on the categorical level. We also found differences in the extent of language lateralization between males and females with males exhibiting higher dichotic listening LQs indicating more left-hemispheric language processing. Overall, these findings indicate that the direct associations between language lateralization and motor asymmetries are much weaker than previously assumed with Bayesian correlation analyses even suggesting that they do not exist at all.

Knowing that birthweight is lower in multiple births, triplets being about 1.5 kg lighter in comparison with singletons, and that multiples have a higher prevalence of left-handedness than singletons, we studied the association between birthweight and handedness in two large samples consisting exclusively of triplets from Japan (n = 1,305) and the Netherlands (n = 947). In both samples, left-handers had significantly lower birthweight (Japanese mean = 1,599 g [95% confidence interval (CI): 1,526-1,672 g]; Dutch mean = 1,794 g [95% CI: 1,709-1,879 g]) compared with right-handers (Japanese mean = 1,727 g [95% CI: 1,699-1,755 g]; Dutch mean = 1,903 g [95% CI: 1,867-1,938 g]). Within-family and between-family analyses both suggested that left-handedness is associated with lower birthweight, also when fully controlling for gestational age. Left-handers also had significantly delayed motor development and smaller infant head circumference compared with right-handers, but these associations diluted and became nonsignificant when controlling for birthweight. Our study in triplets provides evidence for the link between low birthweight and left-handedness.

More specifically, linguistic prosody conveys meaning of speech through syllable, word, or sentence level stress and intonation. In the modern neuroimaging era the hemispheric representation of sentence intonation is widely investigated. Most of these studies suggest bilateral activations predominantly in the perisylvian language areas and in the subdominant homologues. However, there are some inconsistencies about the hemispheric representation and lateralization of linguistic prosody. These inconsistencies could be due to the lack of attention on the language lateralization of the subjects. The present study aims to investigate the hemispheric representation and lateralization of linguistic prosody with a sentence intonation task in two groups of left handed subjects with typical and atypical language lateralization. Functional MRI was used to test the assumption that - according to the functional lateralization hypothesis - the representation of sentence intonation is predominantly lateralized within the language dominant hemisphere and the lateralization of sentence intonation is associated with language lateralization in both groups. Left handers were examined to create two groups of subjects with typical and atypical language lateralization. In all, 32 healthy subjects were evaluated with a standard verbal fluency task with fMRI in order to assess functional hemispheric language lateralization. In our final investigation the atypical group consisted of 8 subjects with right hemispheric language dominance (LI<-0.2) and the typical group also consisted of 8 subjects with left hemispheric language dominance (LI>0.2). Sentence intonation task was utilized to test linguistic prosody skills with fMRI. 49 pairs of sentences (18 pairs of neutral-neutral sentences, 10 pairs of interrogativeinterrogative sentences, and 1 pair of interrogative-neutral sentence) were presented with an event-related design. Sentences were matched in terms of syntactic structure, semantic complexity and length and all were affectively neutral. In the fMRI data analysis interrogative pairs were compared to neutral pairs. One of the main findings of our study is that subjects with typical language lateralization activated the middle temporal gyrus (MTG) on the right side. The activation of the MTG in the right hemisphere is classically associated with the encoding of prosodic information. Furthermore, both groups recruited the frontal and temporal language areas predominantly in the language-dominant hemisphere. Moreover, between-group comparison showed significantly stronger activations in subjects with typical language lateralization only in left sided language areas: pars triangularis of the inferior frontal gyrus, the superior frontal gyrus and the inferior parietal lobule. This finding is in accordance with the functional lateralization hypothesis of prosody, and suggests a correlation between linguistic prosody lateralization and language lateralization.}, keywords = {Semantics; Chemical activation; Speech; neuroimaging; FMRI; LATERALIZATION; LANGUAGE LATERALIZATION; linguistics; INFERIOR FRONTAL GYRUS; Left-handers; Sentence intonation; Verbal fluency task; Inferior parietal lobules; Human social interactions}, year = {2014}, pages = {1130-1133}, orcid-numbers = {Schnell, Zsuzsanna/0000-0002-4207-5698; Kovács, Norbert/0000-0002-7332-9240; Janszky, József Vladimír/0000-0001-6100-832X} }
