Dear All,
Sorry to send a mass email.
First, to those of you that came to our talk today - thank you!
Second, and this a bit embarrassing, with all the excitement I mislaid my
keys somewhere in Ynic. If you found them, do let me know.
Thank you,

Dear Users
This afternoon (4.15-5.15 pm in YNiC) Silvia Gennari and Liat Levita
will be giving a talk on "Developmental changes in language
comprehension: from adolescents to adulthood"
Abstract:
In this fMRI study we examined how a still immature inhibitory-control
circuitry during adolescence affects language comprehension, and in
particular, the brain mechanisms engaged in semantic inhibition. To this
end, we compared adolescents and adults when reading sentences that
require the inhibition of a dominant interpretation. Behavioral
differences between adults and adolescents were found in behavioral
tasks reflecting poor inhibition. Moreover, significant differences were
observed in the neural networks involved during processing indicating
that adolescents recruit a wider network of regions than adults. Some
regions of this network are specifically linked to inhibition, whereas
others are linked to developmental changes more generally. This suggests
that developmental changes involve shifting functions across brain
regions and tuning the language network towards more focused and
efficient processes.
Everyone is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided after
the talk.
Best wishes
Rebecca

Hello all,
Just to let you know that YNiC will be closing at 5:00 pm tomorrow,
Wednesday the 2nd Nov, to allow for carpet cleaning throughout the

the clearing of chairs etc, apologies for any inconvenience.
Thanks,
