• Neurobiology of language (2016, background): “The proposals are far-reaching, O. LANGUAGE BREAKDOWN invoking either representational (Grodzinsky, 1986, 2000; Mauner, Fromkin, & Cornell, 1993) or processing deficits (Grodzinsky & Friederici, 2006; Love, Swinney, Walenski, & Zurif, 2008) involving potential impairments in syntactic structures…”
• Contributions of memory circuits to language: the declarative/procedural model. (2004, background): “It is possible that, at least under certain circumstances, enhancing acetylcholine or estrogen function in medial temporal lobe structures may result not only in improved lexical/declarative memory function, but also in suppressed grammatical/procedural function.”
• Neuroimaging of syntax and syntactic processing. (2006, background): “Although phrase structure building is considered to be part of MERGE (compare Table 1, basic relations), the available data suggest an involvement of the frontal operculum in structure building up to the phrase level (noun phrases [NPs], verb phrases [VPs], prepositional phrases [PPs]).”
• The neural basis of lexicon and grammar in first and second language: the declarative/procedural model (2001, background): “Moreover, their omission in agrammatic aphasia has been taken as an indication of a grammatical de®cit (Goodglass, 1976; Grodzinsky, 2000).”
• Frequency-dependent functional connectivity within resting-state networks: An atlas-based MEG beamformer solution (2012, neutral): “…of billions of interconnected neurons, forming an extremely complex system (Tononi and Edelman, 1998; Tononi et al., 1998) in which clusters of neurons are organised as functional units with more-or-less specific information processing capabilities (e.g. Born and Bradley, 2005; Grodzinsky, 2000).”
• The role of left inferior frontal and superior temporal cortex in sentence comprehension: localizing syntactic and semantic processes. (2003, neutral): “A vast number of lesion studies indicated left anterior brain regions to be involved in syntactic processes and left temporal regions to support lexical-semantics (Caplan, 1992; Goodglass, 1993; Grodzinsky, 2000).”
• Neural mechanisms of language comprehension: challenges to syntax. (2007, background): “has long been recognized that agrammatic aphasic patients show particular problems with interpreting sentences in which the syntax assigns implausible thematic roles but in which an evaluation of items against information stored in semantic memory would lead to a plausible interpretation (Caramazza ”
• Rethinking the neurological basis of language (2005, background): “The conclusion that syntactic processing does not necessarily depend on the left inferior frontal gyrus is also supported by evidence from aphasia, as pointed out in a recent review by Grodzinsky (2000).”
• The independence of combinatory semantic processing: Evidence from event-related potentials (2005, background): “Other studies have reported that asyntactic aphasics depend on plausibility and NVN heuristics for comprehension abilities preserved in brain damage (Caramazza & Zurif, 1976; Grodzinsky, 2000; Saffran et al., 1998).”
• Which questions are most difficult to understand?: The comprehension of Wh questions in three subtypes of SLI (2011, background): “9 In which questions, on the other hand, the moved phrase is referential 7 The subject-object asymmetry might also be explained using the account suggested for this asymmetry in comprehension in agrammatic aphasia (Grodzinsky, 1990, 2000).”
• Syntactic and Semantic Modulation of Neural Activity during Auditory Sentence Comprehension (2006, background): “…as lesions outside of the left IFG have been found to produce syntactic processing deficits (Dronkers, Wilkins, Van Valin, Redfern, & Jaeger, 2004; Grodzinsky, 2000), and many cortical regions throughout the temporal lobe have been associated with semantic processing (Binder & Price, 2001;…”
• The Phonological Loop (2010, background): “Furthermore, Broca’s aphasics seem to have a specific impairment in tracking the traces connecting moved components during perception of syntactically complex sentences (Grodzinsky 2000).”
• Who did what to whom? The neural basis of argument hierarchies during language comprehension (2005, background): “Indeed, it has been proposed that the enhanced inferior frontal (BA 44/45) activation observed for these sentence types is engendered by highly specialized aspects of syntactic processing, namely by syntactic transformations (Ben-Shachar et al., 2003, 2004; Grodzinsky, 2000).”
• Lesion analysis of the brain areas involved in language comprehension. (2004, background): “Since excellent reviews on the brain areas contributing to language comprehension can be found elsewhere in the literature (e.g. Cabeza & Nyberg, 2000; Grodzinsky, 2000; Kaan & Swaab, 2002), we will wait until the discussion section of our paper (Section 4) to introduce other research as it pertains”
