For more than one century, brain processing was mainly thought in a localizationist
framework, in which one given function was underpinned by a discrete, isolated cortical …

Classical neural architecture models of speech production propose a single system centred
on Broca's area coordinating all the vocal articulators from lips to larynx. Modern evidence …

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 …

Berwick and Chomsky draw on recent developments in linguistic theory to offer an
evolutionary account of language and humans' remarkable, species-specific ability to …

Brain activity in numerous perisylvian brain regions is modulated by the expectedness of
linguistic stimuli. We leverage recent advances in computational parsing models to test what …

A comprehensive 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 …

Reading a sentence entails integrating the meanings of individual words to infer more
complex, higher-order meaning. This highly rapid and complex human behavior is known to …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Assemblies are large populations of neurons believed to imprint memories, concepts, words,
and other cognitive information. We identify a repertoire of operations on assemblies. These …

Linguistic phrases are tracked in sentences even though there is no one-to-one acoustic
phrase marker in the physical signal. This phenomenon suggests an automatic tracking of …
