Hey one more question... Kevin posted an interesting article here about cortical speech processing. I recently heard an interesting lecture on Aprosodia/Affective speech. They attempted to isolate a specific deficit in patients with right hemisphere strokes and aprosodia with a specific acoustic feature loss (volume, frequency, frequency slope) and found that all of those acoustic parameters were impaired. Is there any neuroimaging research looking into these sorts of affective speech deficits?

Great answer, thanks Kevin!

Hey! Can you tell me anything about the connectome project and where we are in using diffusion tensor imaging to map neural pathways? What practical/clinical applications do you think we can look forward to in the near future?

Awesome, thanks!

I'm a neurology resident but I like keeping tabs on all the cool, sometimes non-clinical, neuroscience like what you guys are working on. What resources (blogs, podcasts, etc) might you recommend for someone that isn't in an academic setting to keep tabs on? Thanks for doing this AMA, great answers so far.
