A new #preprint from our international collaboration maps the neurochemical architecture of the human language network and shows how different neurotransmitter systems are disrupted in post-stroke aphasia. By combining large-scale fMRI, PET-derived neurotransmitter maps, and structural connectomics, we demonstrate that language circuits are organised according to distinct neurochemical principles: cortico-cortical pathways are predominantly serotonergic and glutamatergic, while...

We are excited to share our latest preprint: Manifold lateralisation and variability in the language connectome at 7T by Lilit Dulyan, Cesare Bortolami, Eva Guzmán Chacón, Ahmad Beyh, Michel Thiebaut de Schotten, and Stephanie Forkel 📄 https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9267400/v1 📜 Licensed under CC BY 4.0 Please note: this is a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Language has long been considered a left-dominant brain function. But what if this classical view is too...

Two weeks to go until the European Stroke Organisation Conference, and preparations are well underway. Delighted that our team will be contributing to two sessions exploring how brain organisation and biological mechanisms can help advance stroke recovery and precision medicine. 🧠 Pedro Nascimento Alves will present his new work on neurotransmitter-specific circuit disruption of the language network, showing how distinct patterns of disconnections at the molecular level may help predict...
