The paper uses fMRI to show that language processing involves a distributed network sensitive to both structure and meaning, challenging theories of distinct brain areas for each.

This study investigates whether the language system, including Broca's area, supports music perception through fMRI and aphasia patient analyses, finding no engagement of language regions in music processing.

The paper introduces a probabilistic atlas for the language network using fMRI data from 806 individuals to bridge gaps between group-level and individual-level language research.

The paper investigates the fronto-temporo-parietal language network across 45 languages, finding its topography and functional properties are robust to cross-linguistic variation.

The paper investigates whether sub-lexical phoneme combinatorics are represented in high-level language brain regions using fMRI experiments with nonwords.

This study investigates the role of the multiple demand (MD) network in language comprehension using fMRI data from 481 participants, finding that MD network activity is task-dependent and not involved in core language processing.
