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": sign-language-grammars-parse…

🚨 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/2358103/20250515

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

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

Replying to @orangeppl @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.
