Controlled retrieval relies on directed interactions between semantic control regions and visual cortex: MEG evidence from oscillatory dynamics

This paper uses MEG to show how semantic control regions interact with visual cortex during semantic decisions, revealing goal-dependent feedback and feedforward signaling patterns.

Diverse ways of holding verbal information in mind revealed with functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Individual differences in left anterior parietal cortex

The paper uses fMRI and TMS to show individual differences in how left anterior parietal cortex supports verbal short-term memory, with some relying more on semantic than phonological processing.

Individual word representations dissociate from linguistic context along a cortical unimodal to heteromodal gradient

The study shows that word representations and contextual properties dissociate along a cortical gradient during language processing, with sensory features at one end and contextual features at the other.

Dynamic semantic cognition: Characterising coherent and controlled conceptual retrieval through time using magnetoencephalography and chronometric transcranial magnetic stimulation

This study investigates the temporal dynamics of semantic retrieval using MEG and cTMS, finding distinct roles for anterior and posterior temporal regions in strong and weak association processing.
