The paper identifies shared neural activation patterns between speakers and listeners during the processing of coherent multi-sentence discourse, highlighting mechanisms for communication of conceptual representations.

This study demonstrates that laminar fMRI can reveal directed connectivity in whole-brain networks during language processing by identifying top-down signal contributions in language-critical regions.

This study examines brain activation during sentence production with different verb structures and lexical status, finding increased activation in language networks for complex structures and known verbs.

This study uses fMRI to show how sentence processing in German is influenced by linguistic context and verb-based expectations, revealing distinct neural networks involved.

The paper shows that novel words and their syntactic properties are learned through co-occurrence probabilities and represented in language network regions, with left inferior frontal cortex involved in contextual unification.
