Just consider the dramatic development of the "outside brain" -- data banks, connectivity, word searches, genetic mapping or the World Wide Web -- that radically expands our capacity and possibilities in almost every realm.
Based on these findings, Wible et al. [ 2006] further differentiated the degree of semantic relatedness and the connectivity between word pairs by comparing high connectivity word pairs, low connectivity word pairs, unrelated word pairs, and NW pairs using a semantic priming lexical decision task.
That people are talking about conservation, water sources, isolation, and connectivity zones all words that you never heard in the lexicon is an incredibly important achievement," Garcés says, adding, "It's not just about saying, 'I have a headache,' but 'What am I going to do about it?'".
This significant decrease in connectivity for words mirrors the increase in laterality illustrated in Figure 1 b.
Reduced connectivity for words relative to false font stimuli was also observed from the right vOT to the IFG and the right IFG to the OCC, in the 1 300-ms 1 300-msdow.
In the present study however, we directly focus on the lexical and sub-lexical pathways as assessed by connectivity during word and pseudoword reading in the scanner, and correlate it to reading tests outside the scanner.
As a broader interpretation of the present results, we propose that the observed shifts in effective connectivity between word and pseudoword pathways are mediated through automatic mechanisms, which may rely on the extraction of the stimulus' global visual fingerprint and on a subsequent comparison with entries in the visual lexicon, so as to favor one of the routes.
We used picture naming as a lead-in process to study functional connectivity underlying word production.
It is important to note that the results described here only test the differences in connectivity between word and false font conditions: It is probable that there is early feedforward activity from occipital to frontal regions that is common to both stimulus types.
He was also casting for the words "connectivity, communication and travel," he said, and thought the balls might hold those themes, too.
