This study investigates how social experience and motivation influence semantic concept processing using behavioral and fMRI data, finding distinct neural patterns for social concepts and their independence from motivation.

This study links subclinical anxiety with increased self-blame and specific neural connectivity patterns involving the anterior temporal lobe and subgenual cingulate cortex during guilt memory reliving.

The paper investigates how abstract and concrete verbs are processed in the brain, finding that all abstract verb types engage the vATL except mental state verbs, and that different verb types activate distinct ATL clusters.

This study investigates the overlap between neural correlates of theory of mind and semantic cognition using a meta-analysis of 344 functional neuroimaging studies, finding significant overlap in the anterior temporal lobe and temporoparietal junction.

This study identifies two graded functional organization axes in the left inferior frontal gyrus using resting-state and task-based connectivity analyses.

The paper tests the role of the co-activated default mode network in episodic recall and social cognition using network-level analysis and finds no evidence of its involvement in these tasks.

This study uses fMRI to show that ventrolateral anterior temporal lobe (ATL) is involved in social cognition through semantic processing, not as a domain-specific social module.

The paper investigates the role of semantic control regions in social cognitive processing through a meta-analysis of fMRI/PET studies, finding consistent activation in the anterior left IFG across four social domains.
