Congratulations, Xuehu, on defending your excellent doctoral thesis 🥳🎉🍾 and all the best for your future scientific career.

NEW paper alert: The Evolution of Brain Connectivity Project is presenting the entire pipeline needed for the project. Starting with the behaviour Taï Chimpanzee Project Brain structure and function: a multidisciplinary pipeline to study hominoid brain evolution frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Let's learn a new #language! 😀🧠 Scientists MPI für Kognitions- & Neurowissenschaften have unearthed fascinating evidence that the #brain undergoes important changes in wiring when we embark on the journey of learning a new language in adulthood. cbs.mpg.de/2206561/202301… Xuehu Wei Alfred Anwander @AlfredAnwander.bsky.social

Researchers @CornEichner & Alfred Anwander @AlfredAnwander.bsky.social FriedericiLab, with colleagues from MPI-EVA Leipzig and AWI Medien present in Nature Methods a freely accessible map of high-resolution #MRI data that shows the #brain structure of #chimpanzees for the first time: tinyurl.com/yr5nk3n2

🚨 Paper alert! 🚨 We used ultra-high-res #7T #layerfMRI and #qMRI to reveal that #dyslexia is linked to #brain changes in the #magnocellular lateral geniculate nucleus (#LGN) of the visual #thalamus. 🧠 Now published in Brain 👉doi.org/10.1093/brain/… A thread 🧵👇 (1/5)

🚨 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 🧵👇
