Frontiers in Pain Research, 3, Article 1005634. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpain.2022.1005634

The ability of non-invasive brain stimulation to induce neuroplasticity and cause long-lasting functional changes is of considerable interest for the reversal of chronic pain and disability. Stimulation of the primary motor cortex (M1) has provided s...

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a single-gene disorder associated with cognitive phenotypes common to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism. GABAergic dysregulation underlies working memory impairments seen in NF1. This mechanistic experimental s...

Neurochemical profiles of the anterior temporal lobe predict response of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on semantic processing (2022)
Journal Article
Jung, J. Y., Williams, S. R., Nezhad, F. S., & Lambon Ralph, M. A. (2022). Neurochemical profiles of the anterior temporal lobe predict response of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on semantic processing. NeuroImage, 258, Article 119386. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119386

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to modulate cortical excitability in the human brain. However, one major challenge with rTMS is that the responses to stimulation are highly variable across individu...

Distinct but cooperating brain networks supporting semantic cognition (2022)
Journal Article
Jung, J., & Lambon Ralph, M. (2023). Distinct but cooperating brain networks supporting semantic cognition. Cerebral Cortex, 33(5), 2021-2036. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhac190

Semantic cognition is a complex multifaceted brain function involving multiple processes including sensory, semantic, and domain-general cognitive systems. However, it remains unclear how these systems cooperate with each other to achieve effective s... Read More about Distinct but cooperating brain networks supporting semantic cognition.

Language systems from lesion-symptom mapping in aphasia: A meta-analysis of voxel-based lesion mapping studies (2022)
Journal Article
Na, Y., Jung, J. Y., Tench, C. R., Auer, D. P., & Pyun, S. B. (2022). Language systems from lesion-symptom mapping in aphasia: A meta-analysis of voxel-based lesion mapping studies. NeuroImage: Clinical, 35, Article 103038. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2022.103038

Background: Aphasia is one of the most common causes of post-stroke disabilities. As the symptoms and impact of post-stroke aphasia are heterogeneous, it is important to understand how topographical lesion heterogeneity in patients with aphasia is as...

Introduction: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a single-gene disorder associated with cognitive impairments, particularly with deficits in
working memory. Prior research indicates that brain structure is affected in NF1, but it is unclear how these chan... Read More about Neuroanatomical correlates of working memory performance in Neurofibromatosis 1.

Recent evidence demonstrates that activation-dependent neuroplasticity on a structural level can occur in a short time (2 hour or less) in the human brain. However, the exact time scale of structural plasticity in the human brain remains unclear. Usi...
