Oscillations and language production
Research line
2020-06-01
We study neuronal oscillations in relation to language production, as they provide an opportunity to understand how general neuronal computational principles support speaking, also helping elucidate relationships between language and other domains of cognition.

Direct brain recordings reveal hippocampal rhythm underpinnings of language processing
Language is typically studied in isolation from memory. We demonstrate that the same neuronal computations used by the hippocampus for memory also subserve online language usage. These findings represent a major step in integrating the studies of language and memory, significantly expanding the role of hippocampal theta oscillations.
