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 …

In the first decade of neurocognitive word production research the predominant approach
was brain map**, ie, investigating the regional cerebral brain activation patterns …

In this review of 100 fMRI studies of speech comprehension and production, published in
2009, activation is reported for: prelexical speech perception in bilateral superior temporal …

Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

Although the supplementary and pre-supplementary motor areas have been intensely
investigated in relation to their motor functions, they are also consistently reported in studies …

Speech production is one of the most complex and rapid motor behaviors, and it involves a
precise coordination of more than 100 laryngeal, orofacial, and respiratory muscles. Yet we …

Schizophrenia has been associated with aberrant intrinsic functional organization of the
brain but the relationship of such deficits to psychopathology is unclear. In this study, we …

Age-related hearing loss, or presbyacusis, is a major public health problem that causes
communication difficulties and is associated with diminished quality of life. Limited …

The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a higher order functional neural network that displays
activation during passive rest and deactivation during many types of cognitive tasks …

BACKGROUND:: Higher levels of inter-region functional coordination can facilitate
emergence of neural activity as conscious percepts. We consequently tested the hypothesis …
