The structure of the brain and the nature of evolution suggest that, despite its uniqueness,
language likely depends on brain systems that also subserve other functions. The …

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has been explained by two broad classes of
hypotheses, which posit either a deficit specific to grammar, or a non-linguistic processing …

Memory systems research has typically described the different types of long-term memory in
the brain as either declarative versus non-declarative or implicit versus explicit. These …

In rats, the firing sequences observed in hippocampal ensembles during spatial learning are
replayed during subsequent sleep, suggesting a role for posttraining sleep periods in the …

Abstract fMRI was used to investigate the neural substrates supporting implicit and explicit
sequence learning, focusing especially upon the role of the medial temporal lobe …

While several models of memory consolidation have previously associated hippocampal
activity with declarative memory, there is now increasing evidence that the hippocampus …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the cerebral
correlates of motor sequence memory consolidation. Participants were scanned while …

Both implicit learning and statistical learning focus on the ability of learners to pick up on
patterns in the environment. It has been suggested that these two lines of research may be …

The basal ganglia play a central role in cognition and are involved in such general functions
as action selection and reinforcement learning. Here, we present a model exploring the …

Background Patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS) show restricted self or
environment awareness but are unable to communicate consistently and reliably. Therefore …
