MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitThe logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is a rare neurodegenerative condition affecting the elderly. LvPPA is diagnosed based on a specific pattern of communication and language difficulties, which in turn arise from damage to a particular set of brain regions. The close relationship between these patterns of brain-behaviour changes has meant that lvPPA […]
Differential auditory and visual phase-locking are observed during audio-visual benefit and silent lip-reading for speech perception
Verbal communication in noisy environments is challenging, especially for hearing-impaired individuals. Seeing facial movements of communication partners improves speech perception when auditory signals are degraded or absent. The neural mechanisms supporting lip-reading or audio-visual benefit are not fully understood. In this study Máté Aller, Heidi Solberg Økland, Lucy J. MacGregor, Helen Blank, and Matthew H. […]
The Third Thumb Project at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition
The Third Thumb is a flexible 3D printed thumb extension for your hand developed by Dani Clode, designer in the Plasticity Lab (currently at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit (MRC CBU), previously at UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience). The Third Thumb is part of an exciting new neuroscientific research study. The Third Thumb […]
Recent review discussing angular gyrus function
Decades of neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence have implicated the lateral parietal cortex (LPC) in a myriad of cognitive domains, generating numerous influential theoretical models. However, these theories fail to explain why distinct cognitive activities appear to implicate common neural regions. Scientists from the MRC CBU discuss a unifying model in which the angular gyrus forms […]
Maternal Mental Health Mediates Links Between Socioeconomic Status and Child Development
What role does maternal mental health play in the association between socioeconomic status and child development, and are there sensitive periods where its role is particularly influential? In this study, Tess Smith, Rogier Kievit, and Duncan Astle show better maternal mental health in the first year of life weakens negative associations between socioeconomic status, […]
