ANATOMICAL CORRELATES OF CLINICAL ELECTROMYOGRAPHY

Anatomical and clinical correlates of the precondylar tubercle

Introduction The precondylar tubercle is a small occasional tubercle located immediately anterior to the occipital condyle. When present, it replaces the small depression that usually provides attachment for rectus capitis anterior muscle [1]. The precondylar tubercle has been described in anthropology literature as one of the non-metrical human cranial traits for the estimation of race from sk...

Anatomical Correlates of Learning Novel Speech Sounds

We examined the relationship between brain anatomy and the ability to learn nonnative speech sounds, as well as rapidly changing and steady-state nonlinguistic sounds, using voxel-based morphometry in 59 healthy adults. Faster phonetic learners appeared to have more white matter in parietal regions, especially in the left hemisphere. The pattern of results was similar for the rapidly changing b...

Anatomical correlates of foreign speech sound production.

Previous work has shown a relationship between brain anatomy and how quickly adults learn to perceive foreign speech sounds. Faster learners have greater asymmetry (left>right) in parietal lobe white matter (WM) volumes and larger WM volumes of left Heschl's gyrus than slower learners. Here, we tested native French speakers who were previously scanned using high-resolution anatomical magnetic r...
