The nervous system—in particular, the brain and its cognitive abilities—is among humans'
most distinctive and impressive attributes. How the nervous system has changed in the …

Classic models of language organization posited that separate motor and sensory language
foci existed in the inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's area) and superior temporal gyrus …

Speech production has been studied predominantly from within two traditions,
psycholinguistics and motor control. These traditions have rarely interacted, and the …

Despite decades of research, the functional neuroanatomy of speech processing has been

Sensorimotor integration is an active domain of speech research and is characterized by two
main ideas, that the auditory system is critically involved in speech production and that the …

Built on an analogy between the visual and auditory systems, the following dual stream
model for language processing was suggested recently: a dorsal stream is involved in …

The growing consensus that language is distributed into large-scale cortical and subcortical
networks has brought with it an increasing focus on the connectional anatomy of language …

Despite intensive work on language–brain relations, and a fairly impressive accumulation of
knowledge over the last several decades, there has been little progress in developing large …

The term “Wernicke's area” is most often used as an anatomical label for the gyri forming the
