Following prolonged neglect during the formative decades of behavioural neurology, the
temporopolar region has become a site of vibrant research on the neurobiology of cognition …

Abstract concepts differ from concrete concepts in several ways. Here, we focus on what we
refer to as situational systematicity: The objects and relations that constitute an abstract …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

In recent years, scientists have increasingly taken to investigate the predictive nature of
cognition. We argue that prediction relies on abstraction, and thus theories of predictive …

Semantic knowledge is central to human cognition. The angular gyrus (AG) is widely
considered a key brain region for semantic cognition. However, the role of the AG in …

Abstract Language comprehension and the ability to infer others' thoughts (theory of mind
[ToM]) are interrelated during development and language use. However, neural evidence …

It is increasingly apparent that sensorimotor information is a constitutive part of conceptual
knowledge. Yet all concepts, even highly concrete ones (eg dog) include information that is …

Humans seamlessly make sense of a rapidly changing environment, using a seemingly
limitless knowledgebase to recognize and adapt to most situations we encounter. This …

The ability to comprehend phrases is an essential integrative property of the brain. Here, we
evaluate the neural processes that enable the transition from single-word processing to a …

Here, the functions of the angular gyrus (AG) are evaluated in the light of current evidence
from transcranial magnetic/electric stimulation (TMS/TES) and EEG/MEG studies. 65 …
