Semantic cognition is underpinned by ventral anterior temporal lobe (vATL) which encodes knowledge representations and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG), which controls activation of knowledge based on the needs of the current context. This core semantic... Read More about Functional integration and segregation during semantic cognition: Evidence across age groups.

Verbal semantic expertise is associated with reduced functional connectivity between left and right anterior temporal lobes (2024)
Journal Article
Wu, W., & Hoffman, P. (2024). Verbal semantic expertise is associated with reduced functional connectivity between left and right anterior temporal lobes. Cerebral Cortex, 34(6), Article bhae256. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhae256

The left and right anterior temporal lobes (ATLs) encode semantic representations. They show graded hemispheric specialization in function, with the left ATL contributing preferentially to verbal semantic processing. We investigated the cognitive cor...
