The brain basis of language processing: from structure to function. (2011, background): “Semantic sentence ambiguity was found to activate the left posterior temporal cortex including the STS, MTG, and inferior temporal gyrus (215).”
Neural reflections of meaning in gesture, language, and action (2009, background): “We show that inferior frontal cortex activation is also involved in the processing of semantically correct sentences and that its activation in this study cannot be attributed to the use of the mismatch paradigm (see also Hagoort 2005b; Rodd et al. 2005; Davis et al. 2007; Hasson et al. 2007; Willem”
A review and synthesis of the first 20 years of PET and fMRI studies of heard speech, spoken language and reading (2012, background): “When the demands on semantic retrieval increased, activation was also observed in the ventral inferior frontal cortex (Rodd et al., 2005; Noppeney and Price, 2002), the left fusiform gyrus (Adams and Janata, 2002), and the angular gyri (Homae et al., 2002; Noppeney and Price, 2002; Schmithorst et…”
A cortical network for semantics: (de)constructing the N400 (2008, background): “Studies of semantic ambiguity and priming find that conditions that increase selection difficulty drive increased activity in the posterior IFG, whereas conditions that facilitate retrieval lead to decreased activity in the anterior IF”
Brain regions recruited for the effortful comprehension of noise-vocoded words (2012, background): “However, in all these studies the critical contrast may activate frontal regions because of their contribution to syntactic and semantic processing of whole sentences (cf. Friederici, 2002; Friederici, Meyer, & von Cramon, 2000; Hagoort & Van Berkum, 2007; Heim, 2005; Rodd et al., 2005; Zekveld, Hes”
