Prominence vs. Aboutness in Sequencing: A Functional Distinction within the Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bornkessel-Schlesewsky, Ina; Grewe, Tanja; Schlesewsky, Matthias – Brain and Language, 2012
Prior research on the neural bases of syntactic comprehension suggests that activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus (lIFG) correlates with the processing of word order variations. However, there are inconsistencies with respect to the specific subregion within the IFG that is implicated by these findings: the pars opercularis or the pars…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Korinth, Sebastian Peter; Sommer, Werner; Breznitz, Zvia – Brain and Language, 2012
Little is known about the relationship of reading speed and early visual processes in normal readers. Here we examined the association of the early P1, N170 and late N1 component in visual event-related potentials (ERPs) with silent reading speed and a number of additional cognitive skills in a sample of 52 adult German readers utilizing a Lexical…

From the Left to the Right: How the Brain Compensates Progressive Loss of Language Function
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Thiel, Alexander; Habedank, Birgit; Herholz, Karl; Kessler, Josef; Winhuisen, Lutz; Haupt, Walter F.; Heiss, Wolf-Dieter – Brain and Language, 2006
In normal right-handed subjects language production usually is a function of the left brain hemisphere. Patients with aphasia following brain damage to the left hemisphere have a considerable potential to compensate for the loss of this function. Sometimes, but not always, areas of the right hemisphere which are homologous to language areas of the…
