The core of human language, which differentiates it from the communicative abilities of other
species, is the set of combinatorial operations called syntax. For over a century researchers …

Recent results challenge and refine the prevailing view of the way language is represented
in the human brain. Syntactic knowledge and processing mechanisms that implement syntax …

Abstract Language comprehension recruits an extended set of regions in the human brain.
Is syntactic processing localized to a particular region or regions within this system, or is it …

Syntactic processing typically engages left inferior frontal gyrus and posterior middle
temporal gyrus, and damage to these regions is associated with syntactic deficits. What has …

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 …

Our goal of this study is to characterize the functions of language areas in most precise
terms. Previous neuroimaging studies have reported that more complex sentences elicit …

The extent to which the human brain shows evidence of functional plasticity across the
lifespan has been addressed in the context of pathological brain changes and, more …

Frontal and temporal language areas involved in syntactic processing are connected by
several dorsal and ventral tracts, but the functional roles of the different tracts are not well …

An essential computational component of the human language faculty is syntax as it
regulates how words are combined into sentences. Although its neuroanatomical basis is …

Many paradigms employed so far with functional imaging in language studies do not allow a
clear differentiation of the semantic, morphological, and syntactic components, as …
