Researchers found that two key brain 'networks' work in tandem to help people read sentences -- so folks not only...
That allowed Woolnough's team to record the participants' brain activity as they read -- precisely charting the timing of events in a way not possible with noninvasive imaging of the brain.
It turned out that when people were reading real sentences, two distinct networks in the brain's frontotemporal cortex jumped into action. In the first one, activity progressively increased as readers absorbed sentences -- a ramping up not seen when people read a word list. The second network the researchers identified worked differently: It was more active when people were reading word lists, versus sentences. But that's not because it was lazy during sentence reading.
When it comes to aphasia, people commonly think it's a speech impairment, said Sarah Wallace, a professor of communication science and disorders at the University of Pittsburgh.Like McQuaid, Wallace pointed to the array of brain areas involved in reading, and the need for "multi-faceted" approaches to managing impairments.
