In this review, we examine the structural connectivity of a recently-identified fiber pathway,
the frontal aslant tract (FAT), and explore its function. We first review structural connectivity …

Neuroelectric and imaging studies of meditation are reviewed. Electroencephalographic
measures indicate an overall slowing subsequent to meditation, with theta and alpha …

Recent imaging studies of motor function provide new insights into the organization of the
premotor areas of the frontal lobe. The pre-supplementary motor area and the rostral portion …

Meditation is a complex mental process involving changes in cognition, sensory perception,
affect, hormones, and autonomic activity. Meditation has also become widely used in …

The left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) has consistently been associated with both phonologic
and semantic operations in functional neuroimaging studies. Two main theories have …

Fluent speech comprises sequences that are composed from a finite alphabet of learned
words, syllables, and phonemes. The sequencing of discrete motor behaviors has received …

During speaking and listening syntactic processing is a crucial step. It involves specifying
syntactic relations between words in a sentence. If the production and comprehension …

One of the well-documented concerns confronting scholarly discourse about meditation is
the plethora of semantic constructs and the lack of a unified definition and taxonomy. In …

Numerous functional neuroimaging studies suggest that widespread bilateral parietal,
temporal, and frontal regions are involved in tool-related and pantomimed gesture …

The supplementary motor area (SMA) is a key structure for behavioral planning and
execution. Recent research on motor control conducted with monkeys and humans has put …
