Seeing an agent perform an action typically triggers a motor simulation of that action in the
observer's Mirror Neuron System (MNS). Over the past few years, it has become increasingly …

Co-speech gestures embody a form of manual action that is tightly coupled to the language
system. As such, the co-occurrence of speech and co-speech gestures is an excellent …

This article considers the scientific process whereby new and better clinical tests of
executive function might be developed, and what form they might take. We argue that many …

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 …

Although generally studied in isolation, language and action often co-occur in everyday life.
Here we investigated one particular form of simultaneous language and action, namely …

Within the cognitive neuroscience literature, discussion of the functional role of the superior
temporal sulcus (STS) has traditionally been divided into two domains; one focuses on its …

What do we study when we study language? Our theories of language, and particularly our
theories of the cognitive and neural underpinnings of language, have developed primarily …

Humans speak and produce symbolic gestures. Do these two forms of communication
interact, and how? First, we tested whether the two communication signals influenced each …

Most of our knowledge about the neurobiological bases of language comes from studies of
spoken languages. By studying signed languages, we can determine whether what we have …

The present fMRI study aimed at identifying neural correlates of the syntax–semantics
interface in language comprehension. This was achieved by examining what we refer to as …
