Neuroanatomy of Language Regions of the Human Brain (2013, background): “…the UF, connecting frontal with temporal regions, is critical for controlling the activation of semantic knowledge (Harvey et al., 2013) and the ILF, connecting posterior with anterior temporal lobe regions, is important for word-to-meaning mapping (Saur et al., 2008, 2010; Wong et al., 2011).”
A review and synthesis of the first 20 years of PET and fMRI studies of heard speech, spoken language and reading (2012, background): “…medial superior frontal cortex (Birn et al., 2010), the left pars orbitalis in the ventral inferior frontal cortex (de Zubicaray and McMahon, 2009; Saur et al., 2008), the left angular gyrus/inferior parietal cortex (Mechelli et al., 2007; Troiani et al., 2008; Ye et al., 2011), left…”
Anatomical Properties of the Arcuate Fasciculus Predict Phonological and Reading Skills in Children (2011, positive): “This view is supported by studies that implicate AF signals for reactivating phonological material in verbal working memory (Friedmann & Gvion, 2003) and short-term storage and verbal repetition of speech (Glasser & Rilling, 2008; Rilling et al., 2008; Saur et al., 2008; Catani & Ffytche, 2005).”
The Phonological Loop (2010, methodology): “Different utterances were used in different contexts, and eventually symbolic meaning appeared by virtue of highly developed cross-modal associations, partly relying on the ventral auditory pathway (Saur et al. 2008).”
The brain basis of language processing: from structure to function. (2011, methodology): “Using a deterministic fiber tracking approach in which the two end points of the connection are predefined on the basis of functional data, Saur and coworkers (227, 228) interpret the ventral pathway connecting the temporal cortex with the pars orbitalis (BA 47) and triangularis (BA 45) via the EFCS”
Brain regions recruited for the effortful comprehension of noise-vocoded words (2012, background): “Nonetheless, we believe that the cortical regions activated here are constituents of the dorsal auditory pathway, and the activations observed likely reflect a well established contribution of this pathway to mapping heard speech onto articulatory representations of speech (Hickok & Poeppel, 2007; S”
Dissecting the uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis. (2013, background): “Because of this, more recent accounts have discarded the notion that the uncinate fasciculus is part of the ventral language pathway in favour of the extreme capsule, which connects the middle temporal lobe and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (Saur et al., 2008).”
Global fiber reconstruction becomes practical (2011, methodology): “given in MNI space (Saur et al., 2008) or manually according to (Kreher et al.”
Monkey to human comparative anatomy of the frontal lobe association tracts. (2012, background): “This tract has been recently linked to language functions (Makris and Pandya, 2009) and could correspond to the ventral semantic pathway described in the human brain (Duffau, 2005; Saur et al., 2008).”
