Bidirectional Connectivity between Hemispheres Occurs at Multiple Levels in Language Processing But Depends on Sex

Journal of Neuroscience (2010)

Tali Bitan Adi Lifshitz Zvia Breznitz James R. Booth

Our aim was to determine the direction of interhemispheric communication in a phonological task in regions involved in different levels of processing. Effective connectivity analysis was conducted on functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 39 children (ages 9-15 years) performing rhyming judgment on spoken words. The results show interaction between hemispheres at multiple levels. First, there is unidirectional transfer of information from right to left at the sensory level of primary auditory cortex. Second, bidirectional connections between superior temporal gyri (STGs) suggest a reciprocal cooperation between hemispheres at the level of phonological and prosodic processing. Third, a direct connection from right STG to left inferior frontal gyrus suggest that information processed in the right STG is integrated into the final stages of phonological segmentation required for the rhyming decision. Intrahemispheric connectivity from primary auditory cortex to STG was stronger in the left compared to the right hemisphere. These results support a model of cooperation between hemispheres, with asymmetric interhemispheric and intrahemispheric connectivity consistent with the left hemisphere specialization for phonological processing. Finally, we found greater interhemispheric connectivity in girls compared to boys, consistent with the hypothesis of a more bilateral representation of language in females than males. However, interhemispheric communication was associated with slow performance and low verbal intelligent quotient within girls. We suggest that females may have the potential for greater interhemispheric cooperation, which may be an advantage in certain tasks. However, in other tasks too much communication between hemispheres may interfere with task performance.

Automated Analysis of Ultra High-Speed Laryngeal Films

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering (1979)

James R. Booth D. G. Childers

This paper discusses the design and implementation of a digital image processing system which automatically processes ultra high-speed laryngeal films. The 100 ft films are exposed at a rate of nearly 5000 frames/s. The objective of this ultra high-speed cinematography is to obtain a permanent record of vocal cord motion during phonation, e. g., a sustained vowel. These films are then analyzed frame-by-frame for data relevant to the theory of vocal cord motion and to the detection of laryngeal pathologies. Because of the massive amount of data, several automated systems have been developed to extract such parameters as glottal area, length, width, etc. The system described here encompasses image digitization and display, artifact removal, contour tracing, image coding, and storage. Our system can process the films at a rate of 1 frame/min. We compare our results to previous systems developed in our laboratories and others.

Syntactic and semantic specialization in 9- to 10-year-old children during auditory sentence processing

Scientific Reports (2024)

Jin Wang Neelima Wagley Mabel L. Rice Nadine Gaab James R. Booth

Abstract Prior literature has debated whether syntax is separable from semantics in the brain. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging and multi-voxel pattern analysis, our previous studies investigated brain activity during morpho-syntactic versus semantic processing. These studies only detected semantic specialization in activation patterns and no syntactic specialization in 5- to 6-year-old and 7- to 8-year-old children. To examine if older children who have mastered morpho-syntactic skills would show specialization for syntax, the current study examined 64 9- to 10-year-old children using the same design and analyses. We observed that only the left IFG pars opercularis was sensitive to syntactic but not semantic information, supporting the hypothesis that this region serves as a core region for syntax. In addition, the left STG which has been implicated in the integration of semantics and syntax, as well as the left MTG and IFG pars triangularis which have been implicated in semantics, were sensitive to both semantic and syntactic information with no evidence of specialization. These findings suggest a lexicalized view of syntax, which argues that semantically sensitive regions are also critical regions for syntactic processing during language comprehension.

The Association of Rapid Temporal Perception With Orthographic and Phonological Processing in Children and Adults With Reading Impairment

Scientific Studies of Reading (2000)

James R. Booth Charles A. Perfetti Brian MacWhinney Sean B. Hunt

Abstract Adults and children with reading impairment (N = 67) were administered a rapid auditory task, a rapid visual task, and a battery of orthographic and phonological tasks. Our results support a differential development model of reading disability that argues that deficits in rapid auditory ability in children are primarily associated with problems in phonological processing, whereas deficits in rapid visual ability in children are primarily associated with problems in orthographic processing (Farmer & Klein, 1995). In contrast to the children, the adults showed a strong relation between rapid auditory ability and both orthographic and phonological processing. These results suggest that continued deficits in auditory ability may have a pervasive and negative impact on word processing in general. In addition, adults did not exhibit a relation between rapid visual ability and orthographic-processing problems. Orthographic-processing deficits may result from a reading delay condition that can be overcome with increased reading exposure (Harm & Seidenberg, 1999).

A neuroimaging dataset on response inhibition and selective attention in adults and children with and without ADHD

Data in Brief (2021)

Marisa N. Lytle Douglas D. Burman James R. Booth

In this article we describe the dataset titled "Response inhibition and selective attention in adults and children with and without ADHD" which is publicly available on OpenNeuro.org. This dataset is comprised of neuroimaging and standardized cognitive assessment scores from 11 adults, 12 children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 15 age matched children without ADHD. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data were collected while participants completed selective attention and response inhibition tasks designed and balanced for within or cross-task comparisons. Previous research utilizing this dataset has yet to explore associations between brain function and cognitive assessment scores or differences in neural processes across stimuli features making this dataset valuable for its future contributions to the field as well as replication of prior findings.
