    • openAccess   A cross-sectional and longitudinal study on the protective effect of bilingualism against dementia using brain atrophy and cognitive measures. 

      Costumero, Víctor; Marin-Marin, Lidón; Calabria, Marco; Belloch, Vicente; Escudero, Joaquín; Baquero Toledo, Miguel; Hernández, Mireia; Ruiz de Miras, Juan; Costa, Albert; Parcet, Maria Antonia; Avila, Cesar Springer (2020-01-10)
      Background: Evidence from previous studies suggests that bilingualism contributes to cognitive reserve because bilinguals manifest the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) up to 5 years later than monolinguals. ...

    • openAccess   Active bilingualism delays the onset of mild cognitive impairment 

      Calabria, Marco; Hernández, Mireia; Cattaneo, Gabriele; Suades, Anna; Serra, Mariona; Juncadella, Montserrat; Reñé, Ramón; Sala, Isabel; Lleó, Alberto; Ortiz-Gil, Jordi; Ugas, Lidia; Ávila, Asunción; Gómez Ruiz, Isabel; Avila, Cesar; Costa, Albert Elsevier (2020)
      Lifelong bilingualism may contribute to cognitive reserve (CR) in neurodegenerative diseases as shown by a delay of the age at symptom onset in bilinguals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). ...

    • openAccess   Auditory and frontal anatomic correlates of pitch discrimination in musicians, non-musicians, and children without musical training 

      Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Hernández, Mireia; Olcina-Sempere, Gustau; Adrián-Ventura, Jesús; Costumero, Víctor; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Villar-Rodríguez, Esteban; Avila, Cesar Springer (2020-12)
      Individual differences in pitch discrimination have been associated with the volume of both the bilateral Heschl’s gyrus and the right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). However, most of these studies used samples composed of ...

    • openAccess   Brain networks involved in accented speech processing 

      Hernández, Mireia; Ventura Campos, Mercedes; Costa, Albert; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2019-07)
      We investigated the neural correlates of accented speech processing (ASP) with an fMRI study that overcame prior limitations in this line of research: we preserved intelligibility by using two regional accents that differ ...

    • closedAccess   Bridging language and attention: Brain basis of the impact of bilingualism on cognitive control 

      Garbin, Gabrielle; Sanjuán Tomás, Ana; Forn, Cristina; Bustamante, Juan Carlos; Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Belloch, Vicente; Hernández, Mireia; Costa, Albert; Avila, Cesar Elsevier (2010)
      Using two languages on an everyday basis appears to have a positive effect on general-purpose executive control in bilinguals. However, the neural correlates of this effect remain poorly understood. To investigate the brain ...

    • openAccess   Hippocampal adaptations in Mild Cognitive Impairment patients are modulated by bilingual language experiences 

      Voits, Toms; Rothman, Jason; Calabria, Marco; Robson, Holly; Aguirre, Naiara; Cattaneo, Gabriele; Costumero, Víctor; Hernández, Mireia; Juncadella Puig, Montserrat; Marin-Marin, Lidón; Suades, Anna; Costa, Albert; Pliatsikas, Christos Cambridge University Press (2023)
      Bilingualism has been shown to contribute to increased resilience against cognitive aging. One of the key brain structures linked to memory and dementia symptom onset, the hippocampus, has been observed to adapt in response ...

    • openAccess   Left-handed musicians show a higher probability of atypical cerebral dominance for language. 

      Villar-Rodríguez, Esteban; Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Hernández, Mireia; Adrián-Ventura, Jesús; Olcina-Sempere, Gustau; Parcet, Maria Antonia; Avila, Cesar Wiley (2020-02-07)
      Music processing and right hemispheric language lateralization share a common network in the right auditory cortex and its frontal connections. Given that the development of hemispheric language dominance takes place over ...

    • closedAccess   Separate Contribution of Striatum Volume and Pitch Discrimination to Individual Differences in Music Reward 

      Hernández, Mireia; Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Nohales Nieto, Benito; Olcina-Sempere, Gustau; Villar-Rodríguez, Esteban; Pastor Medall, Raúl; Avila, Cesar; Parcet, Maria Antonia SAGE Publications (2019)
      Individual differences in the level of pleasure induced by music have been associated with the response of the striatum and differences in functional connectivity between the striatum and the auditory cortex. In this ...

    • openAccess   El test Jake Mandell como instrumento para medir las diferencias individuales en la discriminación tonal: propiedades de validez y fiabilidad 

      Palomar-García, María-Ángeles; Olcina-Sempere, Gustau; Hernández, Mireia; Parcet, Maria Antonia; Mandell, Jacob; Avila, Cesar Universidad Complutense de Madrid (2020)
      El test de Jake Mandell (JMT) es un test online diseñado para evaluar la discriminación tonal en la población normal. El test está disponible online desde 2006, pero no se han publicado datos psicométricos. La presente ...
