Podcasts about Foreign accent syndrome

L'histoire de cet adolescent néerlandais de 17 ans qui s'est réveillé d'une anesthésie en parlant uniquement anglais — incapable de comprendre sa langue maternelle — relève d'un phénomène neurologique rare, souvent appelé syndrome de la langue étrangère (Foreign Language Syndrome), à ne pas confondre avec le syndrome de l'accent étranger (Foreign Accent Syndrome). Voici comment une intervention chirurgicale pourrait provoquer une telle transformation linguistique.1. Un phénomène neurologique extrêmement rareLe syndrome de la langue étrangère survient parfois après des traumatismes cérébraux, des AVC, des crises d'épilepsie, ou — plus rarement — des anesthésies générales. Le cerveau, à la suite d'un déséquilibre chimique ou d'une micro-lésion temporaire, semble réorganiser l'accès aux structures du langage, favorisant une langue étrangère apprise mais jusque-là secondaire. Dans le cas du jeune néerlandais, il avait étudié l'anglais à l'école, ce qui laisse penser que la mémoire de cette langue s'est temporairement imposée sur celle du néerlandais.2. Les zones cérébrales impliquéesLe langage est principalement traité dans deux régions du cerveau :• L'aire de Broca (production du langage) dans le lobe frontal gauche.• L'aire de Wernicke (compréhension du langage) dans le lobe temporal gauche.Lors d'une anesthésie, certains déséquilibres métaboliques, une hypoperfusion temporaire (baisse de l'oxygénation dans des zones précises), ou même de minuscules lésions invisibles à l'IRM peuvent désorganiser ces zones ou leurs connexions. Résultat : la langue maternelle devient inaccessible, alors que la langue étrangère — stockée dans des circuits partiellement distincts — reste activée.3. Une forme de plasticité cérébrale inversée ?Ce phénomène pourrait être vu comme une démonstration extrême de la plasticité cérébrale. Le cerveau, confronté à une contrainte (traumatisme, anesthésie, inflammation), tente de recréer un schéma linguistique cohérent avec ce qu'il peut encore mobiliser. Il se "rabat" alors sur une langue étrangère, souvent mieux structurée scolairement, avec des règles syntaxiques plus rigides, parfois plus faciles à reconstruire que la langue maternelle parlée plus intuitivement.4. Récupération et temporalitéDans la majorité des cas documentés, les effets sont transitoires. Le néerlandais du patient est généralement revenu progressivement, parfois en quelques heures ou quelques jours. Le phénomène semble davantage lié à un "réglage" temporaire des connexions neuronales qu'à un effacement profond de la mémoire linguistique.5. Une construction partiellement psychosomatique ?Certains neurologues considèrent que ce syndrome peut avoir une composante psychogène. Un choc émotionnel lié à l'intervention, à l'anesthésie ou à l'environnement médical peut désinhiber certaines fonctions, provoquant un accès anormal à une langue apprise. C'est pourquoi ce syndrome est parfois observé chez des polyglottes ou dans des contextes de stress extrême.En résumé, une intervention chirurgicale peut, dans des circonstances rares mais réelles, désorganiser temporairement les circuits cérébraux du langage, faisant "ressortir" une langue étrangère apprise, au détriment de la langue maternelle. Ce phénomène étonnant reste peu compris, mais fascine les neuroscientifiques pour ce qu'il révèle sur les mystères de la mémoire linguistique et la souplesse du cerveau humain. Hébergé par Acast.

The idea might seem like something out of a fantasy, but “Foreign Accent Syndrome” is a genuine, albeit very rare, neurological condition! It sees a person begin to speak with an accent different to the one they had prior to having a stroke; one which makes them sound like they come from an entirely different country! Since the first case was discovered in France in 1907, there have only been about 100 documented cases worldwide, according to the Cleveland Clinic. But certain cases have attracted the attention of the media and scientific researchers alike. One dates back to 1941 in Oslo, Norway, during a period of German occupation.  What is the foreign accent syndrom? What exactly happens in the brain in such cases? How serious can the syndrome be?

Handi: Hey, creative habiters! Welcome back to another episode of our podcast. I'm your host, Handi. Phil: And I'm Phil. And we're super excited to have you guys here with us today. Handi: Imagine you wake up and how you pronounce words suddenly sounds completely different, almost foreign, from the last time you spoke. For example, your American English accent sounds African. This might seem bizarre, but it's a rare motor speech disorder aptly called foreign accent syndrome, Today's episode is going to be all about Foreign accent Syndrome – something that many people might not be familiar with. Phil: Yeah, it's a really interesting topic, and it can be helpful for those who are trying to learn a new language. Handi: For those of you who don't know, Foreign accent Syndrome is a rare condition that occurs after a person suffers a brain injury or illness, and can cause them to speak in a foreign accent or language. Phil: It's actually quite surprising – these people can suddenly start talking as if they're speaking an entirely different language, even though they've never actually studied or spoken it before. Handi: Right, and while it's rare, it's a really fascinating phenomenon that has been studied and documented in scientific literature and research. Phil: In fact, there have been several cases of people who have developed Foreign accent  Syndrome, and some of the most notable ones made headlines all over the world. Handi: Yes, like the case of an American woman who suffered a head injury and woke up with an Irish accent. Or the man who had a stroke and began speaking fluent Mandarin – even though he had only learned the basic phrases. Phil: So, what causes this syndrome? Studies have shown that when parts of the brain that are involved in language are damaged, it can cause the brain to reorganize itself and adapt to new forms of communication. Handi: It's also been suggested that this is due to the brain's sensory regions being rewired after an injury or illness – leading to a completely different way of processing language. Phil: While rare, Foreign accent  Syndrome is a real condition, and it's important to understand that it's not something that can be controlled. But it does raise some interesting questions about how the brain processes language, and how this might open up new avenues for language learning in the future. Handi: Absolutely. In fact, there's been some recent research that suggests that even without a brain injury, people can still develop traits of Foreign accent  Syndrome when learning a new language. Phil: In a study done by scientists from the University of Chicago, it was shown that people who are fluent in two languages sometimes exhibit distinct cognitive and behavioral characteristics depending on which language they're speaking. Handi: That's really interesting. It suggests that when you learn a new language, you're not just learning a new way to communicate, but you're also potentially rewiring your brain to process information in a new way. Phil: Which is another reason why learning a new language is such a valuable skill – it can help you think in new ways, and see the world from a different perspective. Handi: Yes, and it's something that everyone should try at least once in their life. Phil: Absolutely. Well, we hope you guys found this episode informative and fascinating. If you want to learn more about Foreign Language Syndrome, we've included some links to articles and research in the show notes. Handi: And as always, please feel free to reach out to us on social media with any questions or comments.

We're kicking March off (or as we like to call it, Fool's Spring) with a story about testicles--yay!!! It turns out men with bigger balls are crappier dads. We debate whether this is a product of low testosterone or some other physical issue or whether it's a societal construct where men with bigger balls just don't think they should or want to be active parents. Either way, we're mad. Susie describes Foreign Accent Syndrome, where after a person has an injury, disease, or traumatic experience they suddently start talking with an accent from a country from which they do not hail. It's one of her favorite maladies, but we find out why it causes more problems than you'd think in terms of relationships. We hear about a reported dead body in a lake that turned out to be a sex doll, and we were having a grand old time until we learned more details about the "body" that are MAJOR red flags.

Scientists are puzzled by a recent study that found the average erect penis length has increased by 24 percent worldwide over the last few decades. The researchers speculate that global environmental causes, including a sedentary lifestyle and exposure to hormone-disrupting substances, could be contributing to the increase. A man in his 50s diagnosed with prostate cancer developed an "uncontrollable 'Irish accent" despite not having one before, according to a report by researchers from Duke University and Carolina Urologic Research Center. The researchers suspect that the man's case is a rare instance of Foreign Accent Syndrome, which basically means that your speech changes in a way that makes it sound like you have a foreign accent. And in this case, it was the luck of the Irish. Apparently, the CDC has tied the use of EzriCare Artificial Tears to a multi-state cluster of Pseudomonas aeruginosa patients. The CDC is investigating at least 50 cases in 11 states that have led to hospitalization, permanent vision loss, and even one death. Yikes.

Imagine emerging from a car accident and suddenly sounding like Pepe Le Pew. When Tommy alerted us to the early medical reporting on 'Foreign Accent Syndrome' it seemed pretty preposterous. Although, in retrospect, it just might explain two guys with thick Boston accents yukking it up on NPR for over 3 decades.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The human brain is shaped differently depending on sounds you are exposed to in utero and throughout the first years of brain developmentIt's probably best to skip the white noise machine to help your babies sleep – our brain is structured to hear environmental noises; constant white noise exposure may lead to delaysWhether you are right-handed or left-handed is strongly genetically determinedThe earlier, more intense, and longer you can have exposure to a second language – the better; human interaction allows for greater specialization of the languageMemory is widely distributed across the brain which is good because even in the event of head injury or illness requiring surgery, memory is generally preservedNew technologies are being studied to give paralyzed and nonverbal patients a chance to communicate again through the use of electrodes connected from the brain to a computer which uses AI to translateRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest is Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses. We discuss the brain mechanisms underlying speech, language learning and comprehension, communicating human emotion with words and hand gestures, bilingualism and language disorders, such as stuttering. Dr. Chang also explains his work developing and applying state-of-the-art technology to decode speech and using that information and artificial intelligence (AI) to successfully restore communication to patients who have suffered paralyzing injuries or “locked in syndrome.” We also discuss his work treating patients with epilepsy. Finally, we consider the future: how modern neuroscience is overturning textbook medical books, the impact of digital technology such as smartphones on language and the future of natural and computer-assisted human communication.

My guest is Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses. We discuss the brain mechanisms underlying speech, language learning and comprehension, communicating human emotion with words and hand gestures, bilingualism and language disorders, such as stuttering.

On today's show we sit down with Dr. Lindsay Weisner to talk about all things brain and answer the questions you've always wondered. Do we really only use 10% of our brains? When do men's brain neurons actually connect? 10? 20? 30? Ever? What are some wild but true neurological anomalies she's come across in her career? How many bitchy PTA parents are typically in a PTA group? How many times can a clinical psychologist swear tastefully? These questions and more... About the Guest Lindsay Weisner is a Clinical Psychologist in Long Island, New York specializing in suicidal teens and their family, as well as helping people work through their anxiety. She graduated from Georgetown University in 1999 and was awarded a fellowship in child development at the NIH/NICHD. She received her doctorate from C.W. Post, LIU, and went on to pursue post-doctorate training at the American Institute of Psychoanalysis.  Dr. Weisner is an expert blogger for Psychology Today, The Venn Diagram Life: Where Sense and Science meet and the co-author of the book Ten Steps To Finding Happy, which ironically was released during the first week of quarantine with the support and endorsement of the United Nation's International Day of Happiness.

A condition which changes a person's speech, sounding like a foreign accent. It's generally caused by damage to the brain (a stroke or traumatic brain injury).

Foreign accent syndrome is a syndrome that occurs typically caused by stroke or brain injury that causes the individual to speak as though they have an accent from a different region or country. Interestingly, this syndrome is entirely subjective, as it is the listener who interprets the speech changes as a different accent.

We're back with Katy reporting in from the surface of the sun (...or Seattle in a historic heat cone) with some strange medical mysteries. If you are a hypochondriac... be warned, these maladies are wild and only provide more evidence that the brain is a terrifying place. Learn about aquagenic urticaria, or being ALLERGIC TO WATER, and a mystery brain disease striking in New Brunswick, Canada. Spoiler alert, neither of us are doctors, so please don't take any of this as medically perfect. Katy just researched online, okay? Everything sounds like an episode of House. There are some bonus mysteries discussed, like chimeric people, Foreign Accent Syndrome, and whatever the fuck possessed people to eat rotten meat as a health trend.

You no speaky like you do before. Where you from? Ingrrand? It happens and it's real. Migraines can lead to Foreign Accent Syndrome.  It'd be soooo much better if super square white guys woke up speaking like Antonio Cromartie. The mommies go back for more sushi and get the inside scoop on the family that shames them. The jeans talk about their weekends in Long Island and Austin, plus audio of a racist porn star, Dental Updates and more!
