• Elevated functional connectivity along a corticostriatal loop and the mechanism of auditory/verbal hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia. (2011, result): “Significantly greater Wernicke’s-seeded FC for remaining hallucinators compared to nonhallucinating patients was confirmed (for FC with left BA45, F(2,53)=4.”
• Cognitive processing speed and the structure of white matter pathways: Convergent evidence from normal variation and lesion studies (2008, positive): “Voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM), a statistical technique for quantitative assessment of the relation between damage to brain regions and continuous behavioral measures (Baldo and Dronkers, 2007; Bates et al., 2003; Dronkers et al., 2004), was employed.”
• The neural bases of social cognition and story comprehension. (2011, background): “The angular gyrus has clear associations with language comprehension (Carreiras et al. 2009, Dronkers et al. 2004), although it may support lower-level language processes such as semantic access (Graves et al. 2010) and therefore not appear in contrasts that isolate narrative-level processes.”
• The Neurobiology of Semantic Memory (2011, neutral): “These locations are consistent with the location of pathological changes in semantic dementia, as well as with temporal and parietal vascular lesions causing semantic impairments [49 – 53].”
• Meta-analyzing left hemisphere language areas: Phonology, semantics, and sentence processing (2006, methodology): “As underlined by Dronkers et al. (2004), the focus of investigators on Broca's area in studies of the neural bases of syntax has caused the role of the temporal lobe to be overlooked.”
• Syntactic and Semantic Modulation of Neural Activity during Auditory Sentence Comprehension (2006, background): “This difference in activation pattern between midtemporal and surrounding regions is concordant with findings from a recent large-scale study of 64 left-hemisphere stroke patients, in which it was found that anterior, middle, and posterior temporal lobe lesions correlated with sentence comprehension”
