Surprise! The brain's language processing network is more elaborate than previously thought. McGovern researchers just identified 17 NEW regions involved in language—scattered across the cerebellum, hippocampus, and more. mcgovern.mit.edu/2026/07/01/the…

New paper!🧠**The cerebellar components of the human language network** with: @smallhannahe @MoshePoliak @GretaTuckute @ben_lipkin @agata_wolna @aniladmello and @ev_fedorenko biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n 🧵

Thrilled to be a part of this team! :)

Excited to share new work on the language system! Using a large fMRI dataset (n=772) we comprehensively search for language-selective regions across the brain. w/@aaronwriight, @ben_lipkin, and @ev_fedorenko Link to the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below!👇🧵
