Me pregunto cómo podría afectar esto a los modelos neuropsicológicos de procesamiento y producción del lenguaje con que hemos trabajado hasta ahora, y qué respuestas podría ofrecer en relación con la interpretación de discurso conectado y algunas de sus propiedades emergentes, que no solo se resisten a ser analizadas a nivel microlingüístico sino que, de hecho, parecen depender de conexiones conceptuales que van más allá de lo lingüístico, como la coherencia:
“Scientists think they've identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they've been surgically severed. The discovery offers some radical new insights about the way neurons might be talking to one another, via a mysterious process unrelated to conventionally understood mechanisms, such as synaptic transmission, axonal transport, and gap junction connections”.
