The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

In this review of 100 fMRI studies of speech comprehension and production, published in
2009, activation is reported for: prelexical speech perception in bilateral superior temporal …

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 …

Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

Humans' unique cognitive abilities are usually attributed to a greatly expanded neocortex,
which has been described as" the crowning achievement of evolution and the biological …

The work of Paul Broca has been of pivotal importance in the localization of some higher
cognitive brain functions. He first reported that lesions to the caudal part of the inferior frontal …

Much attention has focused on the dramatic expansion of the forebrain, particularly the
neocortex, as the neural substrate of cognitive evolution. However, though relatively small …

Listening to speech recruits a network of fronto-temporo-parietal cortical areas. Classical
models consider anterior, motor, sites involved in speech production whereas posterior sites …

A growing number of studies indicate that multiple ranges of brain oscillations, especially the
delta (δ,< 4 Hz), theta (θ, 4–8 Hz), beta (β, 13–30 Hz), and gamma (γ, 30–50 Hz) bands, are …

BACKGROUND:: Higher levels of inter-region functional coordination can facilitate
emergence of neural activity as conscious percepts. We consequently tested the hypothesis …
