Our laboratory has just published a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis related to this question in the journal Current Research in Neurobiology. This study was part of Elisabeth’s master’s project and was carried out under the supervision and with the help of Pascale, director of the lab.
That's the question we asked our team this week. Their answers vary, but highlight one common trend: everyone is driven by the desire to contribute to the advancement of knowledge! 📖
Are there benefits associated with practising singing at an amateur level? For example, do people who sing in a choir articulate more clearly, more quickly, or have better auditory attention? Do these beneficial effects mitigate the effects of aging on communication and cognition?
This afternoon, we collected the first pilot data of our "NeuroSpiN" project (CHIR) with the new Siemens 3T scanner which allows us to collect very high quality images 🔎🧠
In the first two posts of this series, we discussed the anatomy of the human brain, and more broadly, the anatomy of the central nervous system (CNS). In this third and final post, we discuss the functional organization of the brain, that is, how the brain accomplishes various functions such as processing information from sensory receptors (e.g., ears, eyes , etc.), talking, or controlling body movements.
