The neural correlates of word- and sentence-level comprehension and production in 115 individuals with left-hemisphere gliomas using multivariate lesion-symptom mapping are investigated, suggesting that the classical dichotomy between "production-frontal" and "comprehension-temporal" areas oversimplifies the distributed nature of the language network.
These findings challenge the view that cerebellar specialization critically requires contralateral neocortical inputs, and point instead to some degree of intrinsic neocortex-independent cerebellar organization.

BACKGROUND
Language relies on a left-lateralized fronto-temporal network whose functional organization likely reflects structural factors that emerge early in neurodevelopment. One such factor is sulcal depth, which has been proposed as a key anatomical marker of functional specialization. Here, we investigated potenti...

The system-level consequences of V1 damage supporting blindsight are highlighted, suggesting that the unimodal-transmodal axis might track not only global states of consciousness, but also whether sensory information can guide behavior without awareness.

Many of the brain's functional regions display lateralization, meaning they are more specialized to one hemisphere than the other. The visual word form area (VWFA) is one such region; its specialization for written scripts, which develops only after literacy, is consistently dominant on the left in adults. The experien...

While classical studies have established that lightness illusions, such as the gradient-induced lightness contrast effect, are enhanced by specific visual contexts (Agostini & Galmonte, 2002) and that achromatic appearance illusions - including brightness/luminosity effects - engage occipito-temporal cortical regions (...

Researchers in artificial intelligence increasingly intervene on language models to study how their functions are organized, silencing weights and attention components in ways reminiscent of the brain lesions long used to map language in post-stroke aphasia. Under this program of mechanistic interpretability, a common...
