Reduced neural suppression at occipital cortex in subthreshold depression by Jinhui Li, Yuheng Tan, Zixin Zheng, Chunliang Feng, Wenjie Fang, Xiaodan Huang, Song Lin, Kwok-Fai So, Lu Huang, Chaoran Ren, Qian Tao

“…Our results show that the impaired spatial suppression at the behavioural level is accompanied by a significant reduction in neural suppression in the human middle temporal complex (hMT+) and early visual cortex (EVC) within the SD group. Additionally, we found enhanced functional connectivity between hMT+ and the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, insula, and postcentral gyrus in the SD group. …”

Processing L2 action verbs shares the same mechanisms for processing L1 items: evidence from a combined behavioral and MEG study by Elisa Visani, Davide Rossi Sebastiano, Gioacchino Garofalo, Gioacchino Garofalo, Dunja Duran, Melania Tangorra, Marco Mezzadri, Giovanni Buccino, Giovanni Buccino

“…However, while no dissimilarity was found in the modulation of the motor system during the processing of verbs presented in L1 and pictures depicting actions in the same category, here, when processing L2 verbs, reaction times were slower than when processing visually presented actions, thus implying an additional cost for processing L2 as compared to L1 verbal items.ConclusionWe argue that these findings support embodiment, in that they can be explained by a similar, although stronger involvement of the sensorimotor system during the processing of L2 verbal items.…”
