  • So glad you started this podcast!

    As a cognitive neuroscientist, language researcher, and lover of podcasts, I’m so excited to have this show! Now when I’m out walking around my neighborhood I can pretend I’m at having coffee or drinks at the SNL annual meeting 🧠

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bilingualism, mind, and brain, with Ellen Bialystok
Q: What did you find in the 2007 dementia-related paper, and how did you handle potential confounds in bilingual status within clinic records?
The 2007 work found that bilingual individuals were diagnosed with dementia about four and a half years later than monolinguals, after carefully selecting cases with clear language histories and controlling for education and immigrant status where possible; later studies across diverse populations replicated this pattern, supporting the idea of bilingual resilience in aging brain function.
Bilingualism, mind, and brain, with Ellen Bialystok
Q: Can you kind of run through what you found in your 2004 paper with the Simon task comparing older and younger bilinguals and monolinguals?
The 2004 study showed that bilinguals, across age groups, managed conflict in the Simon task better than monolinguals, indicating enhanced executive control in bilinguals, an effect that was particularly striking in the older group and helped pivot the field toward adult cognitive research.
‘Role for left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex in self-generated, but not externally cued, language production’ with Deborah Levy
Q: What insights did you gain from Edwin's experience with transient aphasia?
She reflects on Edwin's powerful metaphor of struggling to retrieve words and how it highlights the interaction between thought and language.
‘Role for left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex in self-generated, but not externally cued, language production’ with Deborah Levy
Q: Can you tell us about your dissertation?
Deborah explains her research on predicting language recovery in stroke patients using machine learning models applied to clinical imaging data.
‘Role for left dorsomedial prefrontal cortex in self-generated, but not externally cued, language production’ with Deborah Levy
Q: Can you talk about how you got interested in the field of language in the brain?
Deborah talks about her early fascination with language and its impact on perception, fueled by experiences from childhood and influences like TED Talks.
