Left inferior frontal cortex and syntax: function, structure and behaviour in patients with left hemisphere damage
For the past 150 years, neurobiological models of language have debated the role of key
brain regions in language function. One consistently debated set of issues concern the role …

Syntactic processing in left prefrontal cortex is independent of lexical meaning
Inlanguage comprehension a syntactic representation is built up even when the input is
semantically uninterpretable. We report data on brain activation during syntactic processing …
