The neural architecture of semantic knowledge comprises two key structures:(i) A set of
widely dispersed regions, located adjacent to the sensorimotor cortices, serve as spokes …

Theoretical developments about the nature of semantic representations and processes
should be accompanied by a discussion of how these theories can be validated on the basis …

Contemporary theories assume that semantic cognition emerges from a neural architecture
in which different component processes are combined to produce aspects of conceptual …

The “hub and spoke model” of semantic representation suggests that the multimodal
features of objects are drawn together by an anterior temporal lobe (ATL)“hub”, while …

Current neurobiological accounts of language and cognition offer diverging views on the
questions of 'where'and 'how'semantic information is stored and processed in the human …

Neuroimaging and patient studies show that different areas of cortex respectively specialize
for general and selective, or category-specific, semantic processing. Why are there both …

Humans process the meaning of the world via both verbal and nonverbal modalities. It has
been established that widely distributed cortical regions are involved in semantic …

Semantic cognition allows us to make sense of our varied experiences, including the words
we hear and the objects we see. Contemporary accounts identify multiple interacting …

Reading a book, understanding the news reports or any other behaviour involving the
processing of meaningful stimuli requires the semantic system to have two main features …

Neuroimaging studies of cognition have typically been designed to identify brain regions
that are active during a cognitive process. However, identifying how brain …
