Previous research has shown that comprehension of complex sentences involving wh-
movement (eg, object-relative clauses) elicits activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) …

This paper studies neural processes of sentence comprehension, focusing on a specific
syntactic operation—syntactic movement. We describe two fMRI experiments that …

Broca's area is preferentially activated by reversible sentences with complex syntax, but
various linguistic factors may be responsible for this finding, including syntactic movement …

Sentence comprehension is a complex task that involves both language-specific processing
components and general cognitive resources. Comprehension can be made more difficult …

A primary focus within neuroimaging research on language comprehension is on the
distribution of semantic knowledge in the brain. Studies have shown that the left posterior …

It remains controversial whether the left inferior frontal gyrus subserves syntactic processing
or short‐term memory demands. Here we devised a novel picture‐sentence matching task …

Cortical regions engaged by sentence processing were mapped using functional MRI. The
influence of input modality (spoken word vs. print input) and parsing difficulty (sentences …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we identified cortical regions
mediating interpretive processes that take place during language comprehension. We …

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined cortical activation under
syntactic decision tasks and a short-term memory task for sentences, focusing on essential …

A century of investigation into the role of the human frontal lobes in complex cognition,
including language processing, has revealed several interesting but apparently …
