Yoonhyoung Lee, Hanjung Lee, Peter C Gordo. Linguistic complexity and information structure in Korean: evidence from eye-tracking during reading. Cognition. vol 104. issue 3. 2007-10-01. PMID:16970936. when the initial nps were of the same type, comprehension was slowed after participants had read the sentence-final verbs, a finding that supports the view that working memory in language comprehension is constrained by similarity-based interference during the retrieval of information necessary to determine the syntactic or semantic relations between noun phrases and verb phrases. 2007-10-01 2023-08-12 human

Emmanuel Mandonnet, Aurélien Nouet, Peggy Gatignol, Laurent Capelle, Hugues Duffa. Does the left inferior longitudinal fasciculus play a role in language? A brain stimulation study. Brain : a journal of neurology. vol 130. issue Pt 3. 2007-04-16. PMID:17264096. on the basis of these results, we suggest that the "semantic ventral stream" could be constituted by at least two parallel pathways within the left dominant temporal lobe: (i) a direct pathway, the inferior occipitofrontal fasciculus, that connects the posterior temporal areas and the orbitofrontal region, crucial for language semantic processing, since it elicits semantic paraphasia when stimulated; (ii) and also possibly an indirect pathway subserved by the ilf, not indispensable for language, since it can be compensated both during stimulation and after resection. 2007-04-16 2023-08-12 Not clear

Localizing the distributed language network responsible for the N400 measured by MEG during auditory sentence processing. Brain research. vol 1096. issue 1. 2006-09-08. PMID:16769041. the findings reveal a clear left-hemispheric dominance during language processing indicated firstly by the mere number of activated regions (four in the left vs. two in the right hemisphere) and secondly by the observed specificity of the left inferior frontal rois to semantic violations. 2006-09-08 2023-08-12 human
Susan L Rossell, Catherine L Bound. Are auditory-verbal hallucinations associated with auditory affective processing deficits? Schizophrenia research. vol 78. issue 1. 2006-02-06. PMID:16005614. conversely, both patient groups showed impairments on auditory affect tasks that used verbal/semantic stimuli; as these tasks require proficient semantic processing we speculated that significant semantic impairments in schizophrenia masked the additional auditory affect deficits present in the avh group. 2006-02-06 2023-08-12 Not clear
Ann Tieleman, Ruth Seurinck, Karel Deblaere, Pieter Vandemaele, Guy Vingerhoets, Eric Achte.

PMID:15907313. in both the fixed-paced and self-paced experiments, semantic categorization contrasted with perceptual categorization elicited a cerebral network generally accepted to be involved in semantic processing comprising left inferior prefrontal, left lateral temporal, paracingular and right cerebellar areas. 2005-08-12 2023-08-12 human
Alexander Thiel, Walter F Haupt, Birgit Habedank, Lutz Winhuisen, Karl Herholz, Josef Kessler, Hans-Joachim Markowitsch, Wolf-Dieter Heis. Neuroimaging-guided rTMS of the left inferior frontal gyrus interferes with repetition priming. NeuroImage. vol 25. issue 3. 2005-07-29. PMID:15808982. in conclusion, these results demonstrate that the anterior part of the left ifg is not only involved in semantic processing, but is also essential for repetition priming on semantic tasks since successful interference with rtms was only observed if lists of primed words were used for the generation task. 2005-07-29 2023-08-12 human

Brain activity during automatic semantic priming revealed by event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging. NeuroImage. vol 20. issue 1. 2003-11-21. PMID:14527590. these findings are consistent with both a dual process model of semantic priming and recent repetition priming data that suggest that reductions in bold responses represent neural priming associated with automatic semantic activation and implicate the left middle temporal cortex and inferior prefrontal cortex in more automatic aspects of semantic processing. 2003-11-21 2023-08-12 human
