Advanced brain imaging in rare patients with aphasia tells us how the brain predicts and perceives speech
Our ability to understand speech, especially in noisy environments, is significantly improved by cross-modal cues such as lip reading and subtitles. How the brain creates these predictions, and reconciled them against what was actually heard is highly controversial. In this study led by scientists and neurologists from the MRC CBU, patients with a rare speech […]
Camilla Nord receives Wellcome Career Development Award
Congratulations to MRC CBU’s Camilla Nord who has received a Wellcome Fellowship. Camilla has been awarded a £1.5 million Wellcome Career Development Award to investigate the neural mechanisms of bodily symptoms in neuropsychiatric conditions. This eight-year award builds on Camilla’s current MRC-funded programme on brain-body interactions, and is jointly hosted by the MRC CBU and […]

Neural contributions to reduced fluid intelligence across the adult lifespan
Fluid intelligence – the ability to solve novel, complex problems – declines steeply during healthy human aging. Despite consensus that fluid intelligence is associated with particular frontoparietal brain regions, little research has investigated suggestions that under-responsiveness of these regions mediates age-related decline. Using fMRI data collected for the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN), […]
