Brain regions located between the right fusiform face area (FFA) in the middle fusiform gyrus
and the temporal pole may play a critical role in human face identity recognition but their …

Semantic dementia is a kind of neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by prominent
semantic impairments and anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Since 2010, more studies have …

The hub-and-spoke semantic representation theory posits that semantic knowledge is
processed in a neural network, which contains an amodal hub, the sensorimotor modality …

The hemispheric laterality of language processing has become a hot topic in modern
neuroscience. Although most previous studies have reported left-lateralized language …

The hub-and-spoke theory of semantic representation fractionates the neural underpinning
of semantic knowledge into two essential components: the sensorimotor modality-specific …

The aim of this study was to shed light on the neural substrate of conceptual representations
starting from the construct of higher-order convergence zones and trying to evaluate the …

Decades of research have increased the understanding of the contribution of the anterior
