Linking ordering in Broca's area to storage in left temporo-parietal regions: the case of sentence processing

L Meyer, J Obleser, A Anwander, AD Friederici - Neuroimage, 2012 - Elsevier
In sentence processing, storage and ordering of the verb and its arguments (subject and

Abstract grammatical processing of nouns and verbs in Broca's area: evidence from fMRI

NT Sahin, S Pinker, E Halgren - Cortex, 2006 - Elsevier
The role of Broca's area in grammatical computation is unclear, because syntactic

Taxing working memory with syntax: Bihemispheric modulations

A Santi, Y Grodzinsky - Human brain mapping, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Motivated by claims that relegate the syntactic functions of Broca's region to working memory
(WM) and not to language‐specific mechanisms, we conducted an fMRI and an aphasia …

Functional heterogeneity within Broca's area during verbal working memory

JM Chein, K Fissell, S Jacobs, JA Fiez - Physiology & behavior, 2002 - Elsevier
