The hippocampus and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) are closely connected brain
regions whose functions are still debated. In order to offer a fresh perspective on …

Neural networks are successfully used to imitate and model cognitive processes. However,
to provide clues about the neurobiological mechanisms enabling human cognition, these …

Componential theories of lexical semantics assume that concepts can be represented by
sets of features or attributes that are in some sense primitive or basic components of …

How Words Mean introduces a new approach to the role of words and other linguistic units
in the construction of meaning. It does so by addressing the interaction between non …

To further investigate the neural substrates of lexical and conceptual knowledge of actions,
we administered a battery of six tasks to 226 brain-damaged patients with widely distributed …

Models of speech perception are in general agreement with respect to the major cortical
regions involved, but lack precision with regard to localization and lateralization of …

Following the theoretical framework of coordinate and categorical principals for visuo-spatial
processing, originally formulated by [Kosslyn, SM (1987). Seeing and imagining in the …

The idea that concepts are embodied by our motor and sensory systems is popular in
current theorizing about cognition. Embodied cognition accounts come in different versions …

According to the popular Grounded Cognition Model (GCM), the sensory and motor features
of concepts, including word meanings, are stored directly within neural systems for …

Recent findings from neurophysiology, neuropsychology and psychology have shown that
peri-personal space is represented through an integrated multisensory processing. In …
