Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

A sequence of images, sounds, or words can be stored at several levels of detail, from
specific items and their timing to abstract structure. We propose a taxonomy of five distinct …

In most cases, aphasia is caused by strokes involving the left hemisphere, with more
extensive damage typically being associated with more severe aphasia. The classical model …

This paper describes the data repository for the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and
Neuroscience (Cam-CAN) initial study cohort. The Cam-CAN Stage 2 repository contains …

Background As greater numbers of us are living longer, it is increasingly important to
understand how we can age healthily. Although old age is often stereotyped as a time of …

Most individuals who experience aphasia after a stroke recover to some extent, with the
majority of gains taking place in the first year. The nature and time course of this recovery …

Ten years ago, researchers using event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) to study language
comprehension were puzzled by what looked like a Semantic Illusion: Semantically …

Much research in cognitive neuroscience supports prediction as a canonical computation of
cognition across domains. Is such predictive coding implemented by feedback from higher …

Over the years, a large body of work on the brain basis of language comprehension has
accumulated, paving the way for the formulation of a comprehensive model. The model …

Abstract Language-processing functions follow heterogeneous developmental trajectories.
The human embryo can already distinguish vowels in utero, but grammatical complexity is …
