This paper investigates the role of the angular gyrus in semantic processing by integrating multiple methods, showing that its engagement depends on cognitive factors like memory and mental state.

This study examines the relationship between white matter microstructure and cognitive performance in individuals with different language lateralisation patterns using neuroimaging and cognitive data.

This systematic review examines the relationship between white matter structure and language lateralisation, finding variability in results across studies and methodological challenges.

This study uses a meta-analysis of 561 neuroimaging studies to investigate the role of the right language network and MDN in verbal semantics, finding task-specific engagement patterns.

The paper investigates how semantic elaboration affects alpha-beta oscillations during narrative memory encoding and retrieval, finding increased desynchronisation with information accumulation and negative correlation with retrieval success.

This study examines the relationship between white matter architecture and language lateralisation using connectomic analysis in a large cohort, finding that diffusion measures, not geometric features, correlate with language dominance.

This study investigates the role of the left posterior angular gyrus in autobiographical recall versus semantic memory using meta-analysis and fMRI, finding it specifically engaged in autobiographical tasks.

The paper investigates whether context integration and update during language and semantic processing involve domain-specific or domain-general neural mechanisms using fMRI.

The paper shows that lexical access and response selection during object recognition tasks involve similar neural oscillations, even when language is not required.

This study uses fMRI to identify distinct neural correlates of episodic richness and semantic coherence during narrative reading, revealing functional dissociations within the posterior medial network.

This paper uses fMRI to identify neural networks involved in forming and updating semantic gestalts during narrative processing, revealing distinct roles for the anterior temporal lobe and fronto-parietal networks.

This study uses TMS to show that the left angular gyrus is causally involved in information buffering and context formation during narrative reading.

This study uses fMRI to investigate whether multilinguals use similar prefrontal mechanisms for word retrieval as monolinguals, finding proactive control involves boosting target language lexical activation.
