Right-hemispheric frontoparietal neurons robustly participated in comprehension, retrieval and articulation of words, the core operations of language.
Distinct subpopulations encoded lexical, word-level information in a highly task-specific manner, despite correlated firing across tasks.
Single-neuron activity and population dynamics were predictable using large language model (LLM) embeddings.
Semantic features preferentially accounted for prefrontal activity, and phonological features for parietal activity.

Researchers at our university observed visual signal flow in a specific thalamocortical pathway, supporting key aspects of the 1981 Nobel Prize model by Hubel and Wiesel and refining the understanding of cortical processing: go.tum.de/450857

Great work from @alexanderhuth.bsky.social and team! Widespread, bilateral #semantic representations in #aphasia decoded by fMRI.
This aligns very well with our recent #single #unit findings:

Language BCIs for aphasia are absolutely within reach!

A special part of this long journey has been the close collaboration with the Department of #Neurosurgery @tum.de (Jens Gempt, Arthur Wagner, Bernhard Meyer). This project would not have been possible without that partnership, bringing together clinical insight, technical expertise and a common goal
In short, this is evidence for well-structured, organized language processing in the right hemisphere, with considerable symmetry to the left.
Our findings also open new directions for developing #neurorehabilitation strategies and #BCI #technology for people who are lost for words.

Today, we’re thrilled to report “A right-hemispheric language network at single-neuron resolution”, the first systematic investigation into the #single #neuron correlates of #language functions in the #right #hemisphere of the #human #brain. #neuroskyence 🧪

Led by @lauraschiffl.bsky.social and Lisa Held, this study represents the largest dataset of its kind, with #microelectrode recordings from more than 10,000 neurons collected over ten months in an individual with #aphasia (chronic language impairments) following #stroke

Researchers at TUM have mapped and demonstrated the process of visual perception at the cellular level in the brain.
