Coherent concepts are computed in the anterior temporal lobes (2010, background): “This is based on findings that verbal and nonverbal semantic performance is impaired after ATL damage (16, 18, 19), is selectively slowed when repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is applied to the lateral ATL in normal participants (20, 21), and is activated in neuroimaging studies of seman”
Active perception: sensorimotor circuits as a cortical basis for language (2010, result): “These and similar results confirm that there is semantic activation in perceptual areas and adjacent cortices where information from different modalities converge”
Investigating the structure of semantic networks in low and high creative persons (2014, background): “Semantic memory is the system of human memory that is responsible for the storage of semantic categories and of nat-ural and artiﬁcial concepts (Budson and Price, 2005; Patterson et al., 2007).”
Exploring the role of the posterior middle temporal gyrus in semantic cognition: Integration of anterior temporal lobe with executive processes (2016, neutral): “These patients have relatively focal bilateral atrophy focussed on ATL, associated with a gradual deterioration of knowledge and multimodal semantic deficits, first affecting fine-grained distinctions between concepts, and then eroding more basic distinctions (Mummery et al., 2000; Hodges and Patter”
Matching Categorical Object Representations in Inferior Temporal Cortex of Man and Monkey (2008, background): “This perspective relates our findings to the literature on semantic representations (Tyler and Moss, 2001; McClelland and Rogers, 2003; Patterson et al., 2007).”

Going beyond Inferior Prefrontal Involvement in Semantic Control: Evidence for the Additional Contribution of Dorsal Angular Gyrus and Posterior Middle Temporal Cortex (2013, background): “The “hub” in bilateral ventrolateral ATL extractsmodality-invariant conceptual representations from information about the visual, auditory, motor, and verbal attributes of concepts (stored within distributed motor and sensory areas—i.e., the “spokes”; Mayberry, Sage, & Lambon Ralph, 2011; Lambon Ral”
Contributions of episodic retrieval and mentalizing to autobiographical thought: evidence from functional neuroimaging, resting-state connectivity, and fMRI meta-analyses (2014, background): “Regions throughout the dorsal medial subsystem also become engaged during conceptual processing and semantic retrieval, as well as when individuals read complex narratives (Andrews-Hanna et al., in press; Binder and Desai, 2011; Binder et al., 2009; Mar, 2011; Olson et al., 2013; Patterson et al., 2”
