Abstract The Wernicke-Lichtheim-Geschwind model of the neurology of language has
served the field well despite its limited scope. More recent work has updated the basic …

Most individuals who experience aphasia after a stroke recover to some extent, with the
majority of gains taking place in the first year. The nature and time course of this recovery …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Speech perception is known to be a multimodal process, relying not only on auditory input
but also on the visual system and possibly on the motor system as well. To date there has …

During a verbal conversation, our brain moves through a series of complex linguistic
processing stages: sound decoding, semantic comprehension, retrieval of semantically …

Wernicke's area has been assumed since the 1800s to be the primary region supporting
word and sentence comprehension. However, in 2015 and 2019, Mesulam and colleagues …

When speech is too fast, the tracking of the acoustic signal along the auditory pathway
deteriorates, leading to suboptimal speech segmentation and decoding of speech …

Changes in sound-evoked responses in the auditory cortex (ACtx) occur during learning, but
how learning alters neural responses in different ACtx subregions and changes their …

We recently developed a method to estimate speech-driven spectrotemporal receptive fields
(STRFs) using fMRI. The method uses spectrotemporal modulation filtering, a form of …

Listeners can use prior knowledge to predict the content of noisy speech signals, enhancing
perception. However, this process can also elicit misperceptions. For the first time, we …
