Although the perirhinal cortex (PRC), parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and retrosplenial
cortex (RSC) have an essential role in memory, the precise functions of these areas are …

Measuring event-related potentials (ERPs) has been fundamental to our understanding of
how language is encoded in the brain. One particular ERP response, the N400 response …

The N400 component of the event-related brain potential has aroused much interest
because it is thought to provide an online measure of meaning processing in the brain …

The physical energy that we refer to as a word, whether in isolation or embedded in
sentences, takes its meaning from the knowledge stored in our brains through a lifetime of …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can provide maps of brain activation with
millimeter spatial resolution but is limited in its temporal resolution to the order of seconds …

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is a well-characterized form of synaptic plasticity that fulfils
many of the criteria for a neural correlate of memory. LTP has been studied in a variety of …

The effects of sentential context and semantic memory structure during on-line sentence
processing were examined by recording event-related brain potentials as individuals read …

In this chapter, we review evidence that the cortical pathways to the hippocampus appear to
extend from two large-scale cortical systems: a posterior medial (PM) system that includes …

Students' beliefs and goals can powerfully influence their learning success. Those who
believe intelligence is a fixed entity (entity theorists) tend to emphasize 'performance …

The aim of the present study was to examine the time course and scalp distribution of
electrophysiological manifestations of the visual word recognition mechanism. Event-related …
