Aging of resting-state functional connectivity in amateur singers, instrumentalists and controls Open
Aging is associated with alterations in resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC), which can impact executive functions such as attention and inhibitory control; however, the extent to which lifelong musical practice can influence these…

Experience-induced plasticity in the attention system of healthy adults practising musical or non-musical activities Open
It is well known that executive functions, such as attention and inhibition, decline with aging. It has been suggested that the practice of a musical activity, such as singing or playing an instrument can reduce this decline through experi…

The Contribution of the Face-Name Associative Recognition Test to Objectifying the Impairment of Associative Memory in Subjective Cognitive Decline Open
Objective: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is defined as a self-reported perception of cognitive decline that occurs without clear objective signs of cognitive impairment. There is still uncertainty in the literature about the reliabili…

Attention, working memory, and inhibitory control in aging: Comparing amateur singers, instrumentalists, and active controls Open
Despite the ubiquity of musical activities, little is known about the specificity of their association with executive functions. In this cross‐sectional study, we examined this relationship as a function of age. Our main hypotheses were th…

A historical perspective on the neurobiology of speech and language: from the 19th century to the present Open
In this essay, we review 19th century conceptions on the neurobiology of speech and language, including the pioneer work of Franz Gall, Jean-Baptiste Bouillaud, Simon Alexandre Ernest Aubertin, Marc Dax, Paul Broca, and Carl Wernicke. We e…

Structural Development of Speech Networks in Young Children Open
Characterizing the structural development of the neural speech network in early childhood is important to understand speech acquisition. To investigate speech in the developing brain, 94 children aged 4-7-years-old were scanned using diffu…

Enhancing speech perception in noise through articulation Open
Considerable debate exists about the interplay between auditory and motor speech systems. Some argue for common neural mechanisms, whereas others assert that there are few shared resources. In four experiments, we tested the hypothesis tha…

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Language and Cognition in the Developing Bilingual Brain: From Infancy to Adolescence Open
Research investigating the neural mechanisms of language and cognition in bilingual children is steadily growing. We reviewed fMRI and fNIRS studies to identify brain regions engaged during linguistic and cognitive tasks of bilingual compa…
View article: Movement-related cortical potential and speech-induced suppression during speech production in younger and older adults
Movement-related cortical potential and speech-induced suppression during speech production in younger and older adults Open
With age, the speech system undergoes important changes that render speech production more laborious, slower and often less intelligible. And yet, the neural mechanisms that underlie these age-related changes remain unclear. In this EEG st…

Assessing the Impact of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Speech Perception in Noise Open
Healthy aging is associated with reduced speech perception in noise (SPiN) abilities. The etiology of these difficulties remains elusive, which prevents the development of new strategies to optimize the speech processing network and reduce…

The Use of Executive Fluency Tasks to Detect Cognitive Impairment in Individuals with Subjective Cognitive Decline Open
Objective: Although evidence has indicated that subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the objectification of cognitive impairment in SCD is challenging, mainly due to the lack of sensitivity i…

The neural correlates of referential communication: Taking advantage of sparse-sampling fMRI to study verbal communication with a real interaction partner Open
This paper introduces an innovative functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) protocol to study real verbal interactions while limiting the impact of speech-related movement artefacts. This protocol is based on a sparse sampling acquisi…

Amateur Singing Benefits Speech Perception in Aging Under Certain Conditions of Practice: Behavioural and Neurobiological Mechanisms. Open
Limited evidence has shown that practising musical activities in aging, such as choral singing, could lessen age-related speech perception in noise (SPiN) difficulties. However, the robustness and underlying mechanism of action of this phe…

The frontotemporal organization of the arcuate fasciculus and its relationship with speech perception in young and older amateur singers and non‐singers Open
The ability to perceive speech in noise (SPiN) declines with age. Although the etiology of SPiN decline is not well understood, accumulating evidence suggests a role for the dorsal speech stream. While age‐related decline within the dorsal…
