Reading sentences involves a distributed network of brain regions acting in concert
surrounding the left sylvian fissure. The mechanisms of neural communication underlying …

Recent studies have suggested that attention facilitates the formation of synchronous neural
assemblies in the γ range (> 40 Hz) to amplify behaviorally relevant signals. Whether this …

Abstract Words forming a continuous story were presented to 9 subjects at frequencies
ranging from 5 to 30 Hz, determined individually to render comprehension easy, effortful, or …

The dynamic neural processes underlying spoken language comprehension require the real-
time integration of general perceptual and specialized linguistic information. We recorded …

It is becoming increasingly clear that attention-demanding tasks engage not only activation
of specific cortical regions but also deactivation of other regions that could interfere with the …

We describe for the first time the fast dynamics of functional and effective (causal)
connectivity during word reading. Independent component analysis of high-density EEG …

Abstract Language depends critically on the integration of lexical information across multiple
words to derive semantic concepts. Limitations of spatiotemporal resolution have previously …

Abstract Language is mediated by pathways connecting distant brain regions that have
diverse functional roles. For word production, the network includes a ventral pathway …

Reading a sentence entails integrating the meanings of individual words to infer more
complex, higher-order meaning. This highly rapid and complex human behavior is known to …

Anterior and posterior brain areas are involved in the storage and retrieval of semantic
representations, but it is not known how these areas dynamically interact during semantic …
