Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, the functional
reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in …

The capacity for language constitutes a cornerstone of human cognition and distinguishes
our species from other animals. Research in the cognitive sciences has demonstrated that …

The biological foundation for the language-ready brain in the human lineage remains a
debated subject. In humans, the arcuate fasciculus (AF) white matter and the posterior …

" Introduction There are numerous neurobiological models of language, ranging from those
concerned with speech perception, white matter structure, and the function of dorsal and …

Abstract Language and theory of mind (ToM) are the cognitive capacities that allow for the
successful interpretation and expression of meaning. While functional MRI investigations are …

One of the few replicated functional brain differences between individuals with autism
spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurotypical (NT) controls is reduced language lateralization …

Functional specialization and plasticity are fundamental organizing principles of the brain.
Since the mid-1800s, certain cognitive functions have been known to be lateralized, but the …

Research on neuroplasticity in recovery from aphasia depends on the ability to identify
language areas of the brain in individuals with aphasia. However, tasks commonly used to …

Functional lateralization is typically measured by comparing activation levels across the right
and left hemispheres of the brain. Significant additional information, however, exists within …

Prior research suggests that the organization of the language network in the brain is left-
dominant and becomes more lateralized with age and increasing language skill. The age at …
