Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Recent studies suggest that a complex, distributed neural network underpins semantic
cognition. This article reviews our contribution to this emerging picture and traces the …

The roles of the right and left anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) in conceptual knowledge are a
source of debate between 4 conflicting accounts. Possible ATL specializations include:(1) …

Memory for people and their relationships, along with memory for social language and
social behaviors, constitutes a specific type of semantic memory termed social knowledge …

A growing number of studies suggest the brain's “default network” becomes engaged when
individuals recall their personal past or simulate their future. Recent reports of heterogeneity …

Conceptual knowledge plays a pivotal role in human cognition. Grounded cognition theories
propose that concepts consist of perceptual-motor features represented in modality-specific …

Following prolonged neglect during the formative decades of behavioural neurology, the
temporopolar region has become a site of vibrant research on the neurobiology of cognition …

The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) makes a critical contribution to semantic cognition.
However, the functional connectivity of the ATL and the functional network underlying …

The neural organization of semantic memory remains much debated. A 'distributed-only'view
contends that semantic knowledge is represented within spatially distant, modality-selective …

The most rostral portion of the human temporal cortex, the temporal pole (TP), has been
described as “enigmatic” because its functional neuroanatomy remains unclear …
