Is language processing modality-independent? And what have we learned from research on sign languages? Join the discussion with our invited presenters by submitting your work to our workshop on "Sign Language Grammars, Parsing Models, & the Brain": …uage-grammars-parsers-brain.github.io/call-for-paper…

🚨 Language connection FOUND in chimpanzees? 🧠🗣️ For years, scientists thought the key to human language was a fibre connection, missing in chimp brains. New high-res brain scans just changed the game. 👀🐒 📖 Read the full story: rdcu.be/el857 1/n 🧵👇

#Language connection discovered in #chimpanzee brains 🐵 @YannickBecker7 @AlfredAnwander & @FriedericiLab , in collab with @MPI_EVA_Leipzig and @AWI_de, have identified a neuronal connection in🐒, evolved from an evolutionary older structure.@NatureComms cbs.mpg.de/2358103/202505…

#Evolution of #language revisited: Long arcuate fascicle was found in #chimpanzees using high-resolution diffusion MRI #tractography of animals that died naturally in the jungle. Now in Nature Comm: nature.com/articles/s4146… @YannickBecker7 @FriedericiLab @TaiChimpProject @MPI_CBS

Hey Arcuate freaks and geeks! I first contacted Erin Hecht in 2019. At the time, I was working on my PhD in France on communication correlates of homologous language regions in primates. But what about their interconnections? The article: rdcu.be/eifzU

Core #language network separated from other networks during primate #evolution - @FriedericiLab & @YannickBecker7 argue in their recent correspondence article in Nature Reviews #Neuroscience: cbs.mpg.de/2317687/202412…

Exciting! @ev_fedorenko and coll. @NatRevNeurosci's piece functionally separated a core lang network from a percept.-motor network (+others); and asked for an evo perspective! Here we go: s.gwdg.de/WUPS8h with @FriedericiLab 🧵1/n

@FriedericiLab @FriedericiLab: back then only senior scientists had access to computing systems during the day at @MPI_NL, and everyone else had to do it in the evening.

@FriedericiLab and Peter go way back. Peter still had a full head of hair and an enviable beard.

Incredible work by team@MPI_CBS on high res white matter mapping in the chimpanzee brain. Thanks to @CornEichner, @AlfredAnwander, @FriedericiLab, @NikWeiskopf for all this beautiful work! Looking forward to the next steps!

Mapping the white matter in chimpanzee now on the cover page of @naturemethods. Amazing work by @CornEichner and the Evolution of Brain Connectivity (EBC) team including @MPI_CBS @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @TaiChimpProject @NikWeiskopf & @FriedericiLab nature.com/nmeth/volumes/…

Many thanks to @TaiChimpProject for initiating this project and all collaborators, in particular @ConEichner, @PaquetteMic, @FriedericiLab, @NikWeiskopf, @MPI_CBS, @MPI_EVA_Leipzig, @AWI_Media Press release: cbs.mpg.de/2234520/202406…
