Semantic memory includes all acquired knowledge about the world and is the basis for
nearly all human activity, yet its neurobiological foundation is only now becoming clear …

Recent functional brain imaging studies suggest that object concepts may be represented, in
part, by distributed networks of discrete cortical regions that parallel the organization of …

Semantic memory represents our knowledge about the meanings of words, objects, people,
and all other verbal and nonverbal stimuli that we encounter in the world. The semantic …

For nearly two decades, functional neuroimaging studies have attempted to shed light on
questions about the representation, organization, and retrieval of semantic knowledge. This …

Semantic memory refers to general knowledge about the world, including concepts, facts,
and beliefs (eg, that a lemon is normally yellow and sour or that Paris is in France). How is …

Semantic memory refers to knowledge about people, objects, actions, relations, self, and
culture acquired through experience. The neural systems that store and retrieve this …

It is now well recognized that memory is not a single, all-purpose, monolithic system, but
rather is composed of multiple systems. Prominent among these systems is semantic …

Since Tulving proposed a distinction in memory between semantic and episodic memory,
considerable effort has been directed towards understanding their similar and unique …

Recent studies suggest that a complex, distributed neural network underpins semantic
cognition. This article reviews our contribution to this emerging picture and traces the …

According to many theories, semantic representations reflect the parallel activation of
information coded across a distributed set of modality‐specific association brain cortices …
