Sentence processing is uniquely human.
In this article, we will focus on three fundamental issues concerning language processing in the human brain, and update recent advances made by functional neuroimaging and magnetic stimulation studies of language. First, we will provide the first experimental evidence that the neural basis of sentence comprehension is indeed specialized. Specifically, our recent functional magnetic resonance i...
متن کاملLanguage Processing is Uniquely Human
There is a tacit assumption in neuroscience from the genetic to the systemic level, which holds that the biological foundations of humans are essentially similar to those of nonhuman primates, and that even human language can be understood by extending experiments with monkeys and apes. In accordance with this prevailing view, it has been assumed that language processing is, in principle, not e...
متن کاملThe descended larynx is not uniquely human.
Morphological modifications of vocal anatomy are widespread among vertebrates, and the investigation of the physiological mechanisms and adaptive functions of such variants is an important focus of research into the evolution of communication. The "descended larynx" of adult humans has traditionally been considered unique to our species, representing an adaptation for articulate speech, and deb...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
