- This work models areas of the human brain involved in language function and shows that specific “links” between them, present in humans but not in other primates, provide our brain with a superior ability to actively remember speech sounds. This is very significant as it offers an explanatory answer to the fundamental question of why we, and not other species, can learn a language. The article has been mentioned by 3 different news outlets and is currently in the top 5% of all research outputs scored by Altmetric (jneurosci.altmetric.com/details/16481210/).
