A perspective on the neurobiology of language

SE Blumstein - Brain and Language, 1997 - Elsevier
This paper provides a perspective on current issues and challenges in the investigation of

Temporal dynamics of linguistic processes are reorganized in aphasics' cortex: an EEG mapping study

A Angrilli, T Elbert, S Cusumano, L Stegagno… - Neuroimage, 2003 - Elsevier
