Within cognitive neuroscience, understanding how the brain supports the flexible use of
language and meaning remains an ongoing challenge. In recent years, the Controlled …

Semantic judgments involve both representations of meaning plus executive mechanisms
that guide knowledge retrieval in a task-appropriate way. These 2 components of semantic …

Semantic cognition requires a combination of semantic representations and executive
control processes to direct activation in a task-and time-appropriate fashion [Jefferies, E., & …

Semantic control, the ability to selectively access and manipulate meaningful information on
the basis of context demands, is a critical component of semantic cognition. The precise …

Semantic control is the capability to operate on meaningful representations, selectively
focusing on certain aspects of meaning while purposefully ignoring other aspects based on …

The frontoparietal semantic network, encompassing the inferior frontal gyrus and the
posterior middle temporal cortex, is considered to be involved in semantic control processes …

Assigning meaning to words, sounds, and objects requires stored conceptual knowledge
plus executive mechanisms that shape semantic retrieval according to the task or context …

Recent studies suggest that a complex, distributed neural network underpins semantic
cognition. This article reviews our contribution to this emerging picture and traces the …

Built upon a wealth of neuroimaging, neurostimulation, and neuropsychology data, a recent
proposal set forth a framework termed controlled semantic cognition (CSC) to account for …

The anterior temporal lobe (ATL) makes a critical contribution to semantic cognition.
However, the functional connectivity of the ATL and the functional network underlying …
