Classical models have traditionally focused on the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's
area) as a key region for motor planning of speech production. However, converging …

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

It has long been argued that only humans could produce and understand language. But
now, for the first time, artificial language models (LMs) achieve this feat. Here we survey the …

A fronto-temporal brain network has long been implicated in language comprehension.
However, this network's role in language production remains debated. In particular, it …

Brain structure deteriorates with aging and predisposes an individual to more severe
language impairments (aphasia) after a stroke. However, the underlying mechanisms of this …

The relationship between language and thought is the subject of long-standing debate. One
claim states that language facilitates categorization of objects based on a certain feature (eg …

A comprehensive neural model of language must accommodate four components:
representations, operations, structures and encoding. Recent intracranial research has …

Background Speech of individuals with non-fluent, including Broca's, aphasia is often
characterized as “agrammatic” because their output mostly consists of nouns and, to a lesser …

Human language is expressive because it is compositional: The meaning of a sentence
(semantics) can be inferred from its structure (syntax). It is commonly believed that language …

The capacity for language constitutes a cornerstone of human cognition and distinguishes
our species from other animals. Research in the cognitive sciences has demonstrated that …
