Despite a growing body of research devoted to the study of how humans encode
environmental patterns, there is still no clear consensus about the nature of the …

Abstract Language serves as a cornerstone of human cognition. However, our knowledge
about its neural basis is still a matter of debate, partly because 'language'is often ill-defined …

A landmark 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 makes …

Evolution provides an important window into how cortical organization shapes function and
vice versa. The complex mosaic of changes in brain morphology and functional organization …

The origins of human language remains a major question in evolutionary science. Unique to
human language is the capacity to flexibly recombine a limited sound set into words and …

Human language is supported by a cortical network involving Broca's area, which comprises
Brodmann Areas 44 and 45 (BA44 and BA45). While cytoarchitectonic homolog areas have …

Vocalizations are a pervasive feature of nonhuman primate social life, yet we know
surprisingly little about their function. We review studies supporting the hypothesis that many …

The Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is one of the most common forms of inherited intellectual
disability in all human societies. Caused by the transcriptional silencing of a single gene, the …

The human arcuate fasciculus pathway is crucial for language, interconnecting posterior
temporal and inferior frontal areas. Whether a monkey homolog exists is controversial and …

The question concerning the evolution of language is directly linked to the debate on
whether language and action are dependent or not and to what extent Broca's region serves …
