Conceptual representations in long-term memory crucially contribute to perception and
action, language and thought. However, the precise nature of these conceptual memory …

At first glance, conceptual representations (eg, our internal notion of the object “lemon”)
seem static; we have the impression that there is something that the concept lemon …

Evidence from functional neuroimaging of the human brain indicates that information about
salient properties of an object—such as what it looks like, how it moves, and how it is used …

It is currently debated whether the meanings of words and objects are represented, in whole
or in part, in a modality-specific format–the embodied cognition hypothesis. I argue that the …

To what extent do the brain regions implicated in semantic processing contribute to the
representation of amodal conceptual content rather than modality-specific mechanisms or …

Various forms of category-specificity have been described at both the cognitive and neural
levels, inviting the inference that different semantic domains are processed by distinct …

One of the most provocative and exciting issues in cognitive science is how neural specificity
for semantic categories of common objects arises in the functional architecture of the brain …

Face perception elicits activation within a distributed cortical network in the human brain.
The network includes visual (“core”) regions, as well as limbic and prefrontal (“extended”) …

How is knowledge about the meanings of words and objects represented in the human
brain? Current theories embrace two radically different proposals: either distinct cortical …

Distinct regions within the ventral visual pathway show neural specialization for nonliving
and living stimuli (eg, tools, houses versus animals, faces). The causes of these category …
