PMID:11900741. the ability to activate and to maintain a large and relatively undifferentiated semantic field has been thought to be an important component of lexical semantic processing by the right hemisphere (rh). 2002-06-11 2023-08-12 Not clear
A J Newman, R Pancheva, K Ozawa, H J Neville, M T Ullma. An event-related fMRI study of syntactic and semantic violations. Journal of psycholinguistic research. vol 30. issue 3. 2002-01-10. PMID:11523278. these results demonstrate that syntactic and semantic processing result in nonidentical patterns of activation, including greater frontal engagement during syntactic processing and larger increases in temporal and temporo-parietal regions during semantic analyses. 2002-01-10 2023-08-12 Not clear
D Pizzagalli, D Lehmann, P Brugge. Lateralized direct and indirect semantic priming effects in subjects with paranormal experiences and beliefs. Psychopathology. vol 34. issue 2. 2001-06-21. PMID:11244378. believers showed stronger indirect (but not direct) semantic priming effects than disbelievers after left (but not right) visual field stimulation, indicating faster appreciation of distant semantic relations specifically by the right hemisphere, reportedly specialized in coarse rather than focused semantic processing. 2001-06-21 2023-08-12 human
G Vigliocc. The anatomy of meaning and syntax. Current biology : CB. vol 10. issue 2. 2000-03-16. PMID:10662658. recent brain imaging studies have provided evidence that distinct parts of the left frontal cortex are involved in processing the structure (syntax) and meaning (semantics) of a sentence, setting the stage for the development of more precise neuroanatomical models of language processing. 2000-03-16 2023-08-12 Not clear
H Matsuoka, K Matsumoto, H Yamazaki, H Sakai, S Miwa, S Yoshida, Y Numachi, H Saito, T Ueno, M Sat. Lack of repetition priming effect on visual event-related potentials in schizophrenia. Biological psychiatry. vol 46. issue 1. 1999-12-20. PMID:10394485. the present study was designed to assess, using event-related potentials, whether aberrant semantic processing reported in schizophrenia results from primary semantic overactivation or contextual dysregulation. 1999-12-20 2023-08-12 Not clear
A J Saykin, L A Flashman, S A Frutiger, S C Johnson, A C Mamourian, C H Moritz, J R O'Jile, H J Riordan, R B Santulli, C A Smith, J B Weave. Neuroanatomic substrates of semantic memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease: patterns of functional MRI activation. Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society : JINS. vol 5. issue 5. 1999-10-21. PMID:10439584. impairment in semantic processing occurs early in alzheimer's disease (ad) and differential impact on subtypes of semantic relations have been reported, yet there is little data on the neuroanatomic basis of these deficits. 1999-10-21 2023-08-12 Not clear
R A Poldrack, A D Wagner, M W Prull, J E Desmond, G H Glover, J D Gabriel. Functional specialization for semantic and phonological processing in the left inferior prefrontal cortex. NeuroImage. vol 10. issue 1. 1999-08-18. PMID:10385578. in a direct comparison of semantic and phonological tasks, semantic processing preferentially activated the ventral aspect of the left inferior frontal gyrus (ba 47/45). 1999-08-18 2023-08-12 Not clear
R A Poldrack, A D Wagner, M W Prull, J E Desmond, G H Glover, J D Gabriel. Functional specialization for semantic and phonological processing in the left inferior prefrontal cortex. NeuroImage. vol 10. issue 1. 1999-08-18. PMID:10385578. the results suggest that a distinct region in the left inferior frontal cortex is involved in semantic processing, whereas other regions may subserve phonological processes engaged during both semantic and phonological tasks. 1999-08-18 2023-08-12 Not clear
K L Purvis, R Tannoc. Language abilities in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, reading disabilities, and normal controls. Journal of abnormal child psychology. vol 25. issue 2. 1997-07-07. PMID:9109030. children with rd (rd-only, adhd + rd) demonstrated deficits in receptive and expressive semantic language abilities on the language processing tests. 1997-07-07 2023-08-12 Not clear
K L Purvis, R Tannoc. Language abilities in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, reading disabilities, and normal controls. Journal of abnormal child psychology. vol 25. issue 2. 1997-07-07. PMID:9109030. the deficiencies of adhd children are consistent with higher-order executive function deficits while the deficits of rd children are consistent with deficits in the basic semantics of language processing. 1997-07-07 2023-08-12 Not clear
M Habib, J F Démonet, R Frackowia. [Cognitive neuroanatomy of language: contribution of functional cerebral imaging]. Revue neurologique. vol 152. issue 4. 1996-10-24. PMID:8763653. at the same time, some studies have yielded unexpected results suggesting, for instance, a special role for the inferior lateral parts of the left frontal lobe in semantic and/or voluntary aspects of language processing and episodic verbal memory. 1996-10-24 2023-08-12 human
C Njiokiktjie. Dyslexia: a neuroscientific puzzle. Acta paedopsychiatrica. vol 56. issue 3. 1994-10-05. PMID:8079639. the rather rare subtype referred to as visual dyslexia and the inter-modal disconnection type resembling alexia are eclipsed by dyslexias related to spoken language: the dysphonemic (auditory-phonological) subtype and the subtypes that are concerned with the production of speech (fluency, word-finding, syntax, sequences), semantics (language comprehension) and linguistic memory. 1994-10-05 2023-08-12 Not clear
