The language network as a natural kind within the broader landscape of the human brain
Abstract Language behaviour is complex, but neuroscientific evidence disentangles it into
distinct components supported by dedicated brain areas or networks. In this Review, we …

Is human face recognition lateralized to the right hemisphere due to neural competition with left-lateralized visual word recognition? A critical review
The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

The validity and reliability of quantifying hemispheric specialisation using fMRI: Evidence from left and right handers on three different cerebral asymmetries
Neuroimaging has tremendous potential for quantifying hemispheric specializations.
