Moreover, these changes could be segregated into networks associated with short-term changes originating near the left angular gyrus and long-term changes dispersed bilaterally in somatosensory cortex. It remains an open question for further study as to how lasting these effects are, but our results suggest a potential mechanism by which reading stories not only strengthen language processing regions but also affect the individual through embodied semantics in sensorimotor regions."<br /><br />As you suggest, one wonders what kind of dark sensory kick policymakers get in knowing that they're depriving others of positive sensory feeling. <br /><br />Cheers<br />John <br />John Hilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072819649049077782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-1247355841303955832014-04-08T16:08:01.063-07:002014-04-08T16:08:01.063-07:00Great Article John

Now we’re seeing that something may also be happening biologically.”<br /><br /><br />Thanks JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
