“…Such mechanisms have not been demonstrated in Arab subjects. A small number of fMRI studies with Arab participants exist (Bourisly et al, 2013;Mohtasib et al, 2021;Sakr, 2011;Sakr & Ali, 2011) describing fMRI use in planning neurosurgical procedures (Sakr, 2011;Sakr & Ali, 2011). Similarly, the limited number of fMRI studies on Filipino participants (or Tagalog speakers) included a number Filipino participants as part of a cross cultural examination, but did not focus on this group (Nauchi & Sakai, 2009;Plante et al, 2015).…”

Cross cultural neuroimaging work has demonstrated differences in neural correlates of some cognitive processes between individuals from different cultures, often comparing American and Chinese subjects. In contrast, a limited number of studies examined Arab and/or Filipino participants. This fMRI study aimed to demonstrate neural activations during animal and tool picture naming by 18 healthy Arabs and 18 healthy Filipino participants. In animal naming contrasted with tool naming, Arabs preferentially activated regions in the right lateral occipital and fusiform cortices, whereas Filipinos recruited bilateral visual areas. Cross-group comparisons of animal naming revealed that Arabs recruited right visual areas more than Filipinos, who in turn recruited the cerebellum more than Arabs. In tool naming, Arabs preferentially activated a predominantly left frontoparietal network, whereas no regions were identified in Filipinos, and no differences in activation between groups were found. Using a low-demand picture-naming task, this study revealed category-specific neural activations during picture naming by Arabs and Filipinos, as well as between-group differences in animal naming. The results suggest that Arabs and Filipinos may have culture-specific differences in processing animate and inanimate pictures, and caution against generalizing findings from the more commonly studied populations, especially in verbal tasks such as picture naming.
