The anatomy of language has been investigated with PET or fMRI for more than 20years.
Here I attempt to provide an overview of the brain areas associated with heard speech …

Language processing is a trait of human species. The knowledge about its neurobiological
basis has been increased considerably over the past decades. Different brain regions in the …

The human ability to understand speech is underpinned by a hierarchical auditory system
whose successive stages process increasingly complex attributes of the acoustic input. It …

The “Narratives” collection aggregates a variety of functional MRI datasets collected while
human subjects listened to naturalistic spoken stories. The current release includes 345 …

A landmark account of the neurobiological basis of language—arguing that species-specific
brain differences may be at the root of the human capacity for language. Language makes …

The organization of human auditory cortex remains unresolved, due in part to the small
stimulus sets common to fMRI studies and the overlap of neural populations within voxels …

Over the years, a large body of work on the brain basis of language comprehension has
accumulated, paving the way for the formulation of a comprehensive model. The model …

Despite decades of research, the functional neuroanatomy of speech processing has been
difficult to characterize. A major impediment to progress may have been the failure to …

Speech and language are considered uniquely human abilities: animals have
communication systems, but they do not match human linguistic skills in terms of recursive …

Can we decipher speech content (“what” is being said) and speaker identity (“who” is saying
it) from observations of brain activity of a listener? Here, we combine functional magnetic …
