Human language requires constant learning of new words, leading to the acquisition of an
average vocabulary of more than 30,000 words in adult life. The ability to learn new words is …

Learning to read leads to functional and structural changes in cortical brain areas related to
vision and language. Previous evidence suggests that the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA), a …

Neurogenesis persists in certain regions of the adult brain including the subgranular zone of
the hippocampal dentate gyrus wherein its regulation is essential, particularly in relation to …

The present study combined behavioral measures and diffusion tensor imaging to investigate
the neuroanatomical basis of language learning in relation to phonological working …

Although neuroimaging studies using standard subtraction-based analysis from functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have suggested that frontal and temporal regions are …

Research in reversal learning has mainly focused on the functional role of dopamine and
striatal structures in driving behavior on the basis of classic reinforcement learning mechanisms…

Learning to fear danger in the environment is essential to survival, but dysregulation of the
fear system is at the core of many anxiety disorders. As a consequence, a great interest has …

People of all ages display the ability to detect and learn from patterns in seemingly random
stimuli. Referred to as statistical learning (SL), this process is particularly critical when …

This study explored the feasibility and effectiveness of a short-term (10-week) intervention
trial using Donepezil administered alone and combined with intensive language action …

Incidental learning plays a crucial role in the initial phases of language acquisition.
However the knowledge derived from implicit learning, which is based on prediction-based …
