Cognitive neuroscience has highlighted the cerebral cortex while often overlooking
subcortical structures. This cortical proclivity is found in basic and translational research on …

Subcortical contributions to core linguistic computations pertaining to syntax-semantics
remain drastically under-studied. We critique the cortico-centric focus which has largely …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Clinical populations with basal ganglia pathologies may present with language production
impairments, which are often described in combination with comprehension measures or …

The role of corticostriatal circuits in language functions is unclear. In this review, we consider
evidence from language learning, syntax, and controlled language production and …

Cognitive studies on Parkinson's disease (PD) reveal abnormal semantic processing. Most
research, however, fails to indicate which conceptual properties are most affected and …

The extent to which action and perception systems of the brain are involved in semantic
comprehension remains controversial. Whether figurative language, such as metaphors and …

Embodied cognition theories posit direct interactions between sensorimotor and mental
processing. Various clinical observations have been interpreted in this controversial …

The contribution of action-perception systems of the brain to lexical semantics remains
controversial. Here, we used high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD …

Lexical-processing declines are a hallmark of aging. However, the extent of these declines
may vary as a function of different factors. Motivated by findings from neurodegenerative …
