Most accounts of human cognitive architectures have focused on computational accounts of
cognition while making little contact with the study of anatomical structures and physiological …

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 …

Reading systematically activates the left lateral occipitotemporal sulcus, at a site known as

Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

While predominant models of visual word form area (VWFA) function argue for its specific
role in decoding written language, other accounts propose a more general role of VWFA in …
