Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Abstract Language is a defining characteristic of our species, but the function, or functions,
that it serves has been debated for centuries. Here we bring recent evidence from …

Theories of human cognition prominently feature'Broca's area', which causally contributes to
a myriad of mental functions. However, Broca's area is not a monolithic, multipurpose unit–it …

Speech production has been studied predominantly from within two traditions,
psycholinguistics and motor control. These traditions have rarely interacted, and the …

In less than three decades, the concept “cerebellar neurocognition” has evolved from a mere
afterthought to an entirely new and multifaceted area of neuroscientific research. A close …

The DIVA model of speech production provides a computationally and neuroanatomically
explicit account of the network of brain regions involved in speech acquisition and …

Historically, the insula was considered primary gustatory cortex. Now it is known to play a
more comprehensive role in the processing of sensory information, including acting as …

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 …

Is thought possible without language? Individuals with global aphasia, who have almost no
ability to understand or produce language, provide a powerful opportunity to find out …

Background and Purpose—Recent research suggests that increased left hemisphere
cortical activity, primarily of the left frontal cortex, is associated with improved naming …
