This review article summarizes various functions of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
(DLPFC) that are related to language processing. To this end, its connectivity with the left …

The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

The meaning of language is represented in regions of the cerebral cortex collectively known
as the 'semantic system'. However, little of the semantic system has been mapped …

Abstract Syntax, the structure of sentences, enables humans to express an infinite range of
meanings through finite means. The neurobiology of syntax has been intensely studied but …

Recognizing sounds implicates the cerebral transformation of input waveforms into semantic
representations. Although past research identified the superior temporal gyrus (STG) as a …

The human ability to understand speech is underpinned by a hierarchical auditory system
whose successive stages process increasingly complex attributes of the acoustic input. It …

Over the past decade, many researchers have come up with different implementations of
systems for decoding covert or imagined speech from EEG (electroencephalogram). They …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

Over the years, a large body of work on the brain basis of language comprehension has
accumulated, paving the way for the formulation of a comprehensive model. The model …

Abstract Language-processing functions follow heterogeneous developmental trajectories.
The human embryo can already distinguish vowels in utero, but grammatical complexity is …
