The brain basis of language processing: from structure to function. (2011, background): “Another recent meta-analysis (252) reviewed 164 functional imaging studies including those investigating words and sentences presented auditorily and visually as well as pictures.”
A review and synthesis of the first 20 years of PET and fMRI studies of heard speech, spoken language and reading (2012, background): “…2010; Davis and Gaskell, 2009; Kotz et al., 2010; Kouider et al., 2010; Obleser et al., 2007b; Devauchelle et al., 2009; Obleser and Kotz, 2010; Hubbard et al., 2009; Kircher et al., 2009b; Mashal et al., 2009; Rogalsky and Hickok, 2009; Visser et al., 2010; Tyler et al., 2010; Ye and Zhou, 2009).”
Comparing Families of Dynamic Causal Models (2010, result): “modulatory families. These were specified by first defining a hierarchy with region P at the bottom, A in the middle and F at the top; in accordance with recent studies that tend to place F above A in the language hierarchy”
Conceptual representations in mind and brain: theoretical developments, current evidence and future directions. (2012, background): “…as well as neuropsychological patient studies indicated a functional role of motor representations for conceptual processing (e.g., Helbig et al., 2010; Pulvermüller et al., 2005a, 2005b), more future work is needed for clarifying the causal relation between modality-specific representations and…”
Both the Middle Temporal Gyrus and the Ventral Anterior Temporal Area Are Crucial for Multimodal Semantic Processing: Distortion-corrected fMRI Evidence for a Double Gradient of Information Convergence in the Temporal Lobes (2012, background): “Note that the greater activation of basal ATL in the current study over that noted in the meta-analysis is very likely to reflect the technical challenges associated with using fMRI in this region (see main text and Visser et al., 2009).”
