This study shows that predictive language processing during reading relies on executive resources, especially under cognitive load, and is dynamically coupled with working memory.

This study investigates how task and aging affect semantic processing in the brain, finding that both TPC and ATL respond preferentially to thematic relationships and that aging leads to shifts in semantic control and processing.

This study shows that cortical electric-field strength and connectivity to the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex better predict neuro-cardiac responses to prefrontal TMS than conventional motor-threshold-based dosing.

This study examines how TMS targeting the DLPFC affects heart-brain coupling, finding non-linear effects based on stimulation intensity and target location.

This study uses TMS to investigate the roles of left IFG and pre-SMA in semantic and executive control, finding shared and distinct contributions to cognitive tasks.

The paper examines how cognitive-perceptual styles along the Autism-Schizotypy Continuum affect sensitivity to lexical surprisal during reading across the lifespan.

This study investigates how semantic integration demands affect brain network interactions across the lifespan using fMRI and behavioral data.

This study shows that language predictability affects reading time more when executive resources are limited, and this effect increases with age.

This study shows that stimulating the pre-SMA with iTBS enhances semantic processing by altering network activity and connectivity in healthy older adults.

This study examines age-related changes in functional brain network architecture during semantic word retrieval, finding increased coupling, reduced segregation, and more hubs in older adults despite intact semantic abilities.

This paper synthesizes five fMRI studies to examine the role of the angular gyrus in semantic cognition, finding consistent deactivation during non-semantic tasks and task-specific activation patterns.

This study examines how domain-general brain networks contribute to semantic cognition in young and older adults, finding age-related differences in how network connectivity affects task performance.
