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 …

This article illustrates how functional neuroimaging can be used to test the validity of
neurological and cognitive models of language. Three models of language are described …

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 …

Humans have a unique ability to learn more than one language—a skill that is thought to be
mediated by functional (rather than structural) plastic changes in the brain. Here we show …

This paper is about detecting activations in statistical parametric maps and considers the
relative sensitivity of a nested hierarchy of tests that we have framed in terms of the level of …

The cortical anatomy of 6 patients with semantic dementia (the temporal lobe variant of
frontotemporal dementia) was contrasted with that of a group of age‐matched normal …

There is a growing appreciation of the importance of nonlinearities in evoked responses in
fMRI, particularly with the advent of event-related fMRI. These nonlinearities are commonly …

In recent years, a whole-brain unbiased objective technique, known as voxel-based
morphometry (VBM), has been developed to characterise brain differences in vivo using …

Recent functional imaging studies have referred to a posterior region of the left midfusiform
gyrus as the “visual word form area”(VWFA). We review the evidence for this claim and …

This paper introduces the concepts and procedures of “cognitive conjunction,” a new
approach to designing and analyzing cognitive activation experiments. Cognitive …
