Whether learning of new words can induce rapid cortical plasticity is a hotly debated topic. We demonstrated that active associative learning of a new action word meaning can lead to rapid cortical plasticity in a network of speech-related areas in the left hemisphere. Moreover, we found that action selection and preparation triggered by presentation of newly learnt action words recurrently re-activates the auditory association cortex. This effect is the first electrophysiological demonstration of Hebbian-type strengthening of cross-modal connections during active word learning in the human brain.
