Purpose Understanding the brain basis of language and cognitive outcomes is a major goal
of aphasia research. Prior studies have not often considered the many ways that brain …

Lesion symptom mapping (LSM) tools are used on brain injury data to identify the neural
structures critical for a given behavior or symptom. Univariate lesion symptom mapping …

Multivariate lesion behaviour mapping based on machine learning algorithms has recently
been suggested to complement the methods of anatomo‐behavioural approaches in …

Background: Stroke with basal ganglia damage (SBG) is a neurological disorder
characterized by cognitive impairment. The neurobiological mechanism of cognitive …

Background Aphasia is one of the most common causes of post-stroke disabilities. As the
symptoms and impact of post-stroke aphasia are heterogeneous, it is important to …

Neurological patients with apraxia of pantomime provide us with a unique opportunity to
study the neural correlates of higher-order motor function. Previous studies using lesion …

Acceptability judgments are a primary source of evidence in formal linguistic research.
Within the generative linguistic tradition, these judgments are attributed to evaluation of …

Listeners can use prior knowledge to predict the content of noisy speech signals, enhancing
perception. However, this process can also elicit misperceptions. For the first time, we …

The hub-and-spoke theory of semantic representation fractionates the neural underpinning
of semantic knowledge into two essential components: the sensorimotor modality-specific …

Spoken sentences are continuous streams of sound, without reliable acoustic cues to word
boundaries. We have previously proposed that language learners identify words via an …
