The neural bases of social cognition and story comprehension. (2011, background): “…put forth, including projection of the self (Buckner & Carroll 2007, Mitchell 2009), scene construction (Hassabis & Maguire 2007, Summerfield et al. 2010), associative processing (Bar et al. 2007), or the integration of motivational systems with language/categorization systems (Xu et al. 2005).”
Topographic mapping of a hierarchy of temporal receptive windows using a narrated story (2011, background): “The latter (paragraph and longer) time scale determines the context (Xu et al., 2005) or narrative framework (Fletcher et al.”
COMPREHENSION (2010, background): “For example, Xu and colleagues added levels of abstraction from the lexical (word) level to the discourse (narrative) level and found activation of the temporal poles only occurred at the level of the sentence or narrative and was accompanied by increased activity in the precuneus, medial prefrontal”
Bilateral brain processes for comprehending natural language. (2005, background): “Hundreds of neuroimaging studies reveal strong neural activity in the LH during language tasks [1–4]; but many of these studies also observe weak signal in homologous (anatomically equivalent) areas of the RH [ 2 ,3].”
A Hierarchy of Temporal Receptive Windows in Human Cortex (2008, background): “First, activity related to the processing of narrative has previously been reported in the posterior part of LS, also known as Wernicke’s area (Ferstl et al., 2005; Xu et al., 2005; Schmithorst et al., 2006).”
Neuroimaging Contributions to the Understanding of Discourse Processes (2006, background): “…we reasoned that a reader's cognitive effort would change—that is, both language and language-related processes should be differentially engaged during the succession of narrative segments and should be reflected in dynamically fluctuating patterns of brain activity " (Xu et al., 2005, p.1013).”
The Common Neural Basis of Autobiographical Memory, Prospection, Navigation, Theory of Mind, and the Default Mode: A Quantitative Meta-analysis (2009, background): “Xu, Kemeny, Park, Frattali, and Braun ( 2005 ) observed this network and hypothesized that it represents the functional integration of the dorsomedial motivational system with the ventrolateral language/categorization system.”
