Symbols and mental programs: a hypothesis about human singularity
Natural language is often seen as the single factor that explains the cognitive singularity of
the human species. Instead, we propose that humans possess multiple internal languages …

A revised limbic system model for memory, emotion and behaviour
Emotion, memories and behaviour emerge from the coordinated activities of regions
connected by the limbic system. Here, we propose an update of the limbic model based on …

The language network
AD Friederici, SME Gierhan - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2013 - Elsevier
Language processing is supported by different regions located in separate parts of the brain.
A crucial condition for these regions to function as a network is the information transfer …

Evolution, brain, and the nature of language
Language serves as a cornerstone for human cognition, yet much about its evolution
remains puzzling. Recent research on this question parallels Darwin's attempt to explain …
