An investigation across 45 languages and 12 language families reveals a universal language network
To understand the architecture of human language, it is critical to examine diverse
languages; however, most cognitive neuroscience research has focused on only a handful …

Probabilistic atlas for the language network based on precision fMRI data from> 800 individuals
Two analytic traditions characterize fMRI language research. One relies on averaging
activations across individuals. This approach has limitations: because of inter-individual …

Artificial neural network language models align neurally and behaviorally with humans even after a developmentally realistic amount of training
Artificial neural networks have emerged as computationally plausible models of human
language processing. A major criticism of these models is that the amount of training data …

No evidence of theory of mind reasoning in the human language network
Abstract Language comprehension and the ability to infer others' thoughts (theory of mind
[ToM]) are interrelated during development and language use. However, neural evidence …

Genetic architecture of the white matter connectome of the human brain
White matter tracts form the structural basis of large-scale brain networks. We applied brain-
wide tractography to diffusion images from 30,810 adults (UK Biobank) and found significant …

Non-literal language processing is jointly supported by the language and theory of mind networks: evidence from a novel meta-analytic fMRI approach
Going beyond the literal meaning of language is key to communicative success. However,
the mechanisms that support non-literal inferences remain debated. Using a novel meta …

Physical distance to sensory-motor landmarks predicts language function
Auditory language comprehension recruits cortical regions that are both close to sensory-
motor landmarks (supporting auditory and motor features) and far from these landmarks …

[HTML][HTML] Multi-level fMRI analysis applied to hemispheric specialization in the language network, functional areas, and their behavioral correlations in the ABCD …
Prior research suggests that the organization of the language network in the brain is left-
dominant and becomes more lateralized with age and increasing language skill. The age at …

The Language Network Reliably “Tracks” Naturalistic Meaningful Nonverbal Stimuli
The language network, comprised of brain regions in the left frontal and temporal cortex,
responds robustly and reliably during language comprehension but shows little or no …
