Neurocognitive and neurolinguistics theories make explicit statements relating specialized
cognitive and linguistic processes to specific brain loci. These linking hypotheses are in …

Non-invasive brain stimulation with weak direct currents (transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS)) has emerged as one of the major tools to induce neuroplastic cortical …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can
systematically modify behaviour by inducing changes in the underlying brain function. In …

Alterations of cortical excitability, oscillatory as well as non-oscillatory, are physiological
derivates of cognitive processes, such as perception, working memory, learning, and long …

See Fink et al.(doi: 10.1093/aww034) for a scientific commentary on this article. Transcranial
direct current stimulation has shown promise to improve recovery in patients with post-stroke …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique
inducing prolonged brain excitability changes and promoting cerebral plasticity, is a …

Abstract “Embodied” proposals claim that the meaning of at least some words, concepts and
constructions is grounded in knowledge about actions and objects. An alternative …

Sensorimotor areas activate to action-and object-related words, but their role in abstract
meaning processing is still debated. Abstract emotion words denoting body internal states …

Background Declarative verbal learning and memory are known to be lateralised to the
dominant hemisphere and to be subserved by a network of structures, including those …

The treatment of aphasias—acquired language disorders—caused by stroke and other
