Human languages are based on syntax, a set of rules which allow an infinite number of
meaningful sentences to be constructed from a finite set of words. A theory associated with …

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 …

Although the construction of syntactic structures is considered a fundamental component of
language processing, insights concerning its neurobiological basis have remained elusive …

Abstract Syntax, the structure of sentences, enables humans to express an infinite range of
meanings through finite means. The neurobiology of syntax has been intensely studied but …

Recent brain imaging studies have provided evidence that distinct parts of the left frontal
cortex are involved in processing the structure (syntax) and meaning (semantics) of a …

Syntactic comprehension is a fundamental aspect of human language, and has distinct
properties from other aspects of language (eg semantics). In this article, we aim to identify if …

In the neurobiology of syntax, a methodological challenge is to vary syntax while holding
semantics constant. Changes in syntactic structure usually correlate with changes in …

Abstract Language serves as a cornerstone of human cognition. However, our knowledge
about its neural basis is still a matter of debate, partly because 'language'is often ill-defined …

The neural basis of syntax is a matter of substantial debate. In particular, the inferior frontal
gyrus (IFG), or Broca's area, has been prominently linked to syntactic processing, but the …

While a long history of neuropsychological research places language function within a
primarily left-lateralized frontotemporal system, recent neuroimaging work has extended this …
