ZG_5_08 — Neurolinguistics: Broca, Wernicke, Imaging, and the Language Brain
Neurolinguistics — the study of the neural basis of language — investigates how the brain represents, processes, produces, and comprehends language, drawing on evidence from brain lesions (aphasia studies), electrophysio
C_3_02 — Language Origins and the Tower of Babel
How did language begin? This is "the hardest problem in science" (Christiansen & Kirby 2003). The Linguistic Society of Paris banned all papers on language origins in 1866 because the topic produced more speculation than
ZG_5_17 — Neurolinguistics & Brain Imaging
Neurolinguistics — the study of the neural mechanisms underlying the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language — has been transformed by advances in neuroimaging technology since the 1990s, moving from a fie
ZG_1_01 — Origin of Language — When Did Humans First Speak?
The origin of human language — the capacity for open-ended, recursive, symbolic communication — remains one of the most debated questions in science, lying at the intersection of linguistics, paleoanthropology, genetics,
ZG_3_02 — FOXP2 and the Genetics of Language
FOXP2 (Forkhead Box Protein P2) is the first gene directly linked to human speech and language ability, located on chromosome 7q31 and encoding a transcription factor that regulates hundreds of downstream genes involved
T_2_08 — Neuropsychology and Brain Damage
Neuropsychology studies the relationship between brain structure/function and behavior — using patterns of cognitive impairment following brain damage to infer how the intact brain organizes mental processes.
T_3_08 — Psychology of Language and Bilingualism
Psycholinguistics — the study of psychological processes underlying language production, comprehension, and acquisition — spans one of the deepest questions in cognitive science: how do humans acquire, process, and use l
T_5_13 — Psycholinguistics: Language and Thought, Sapir-Whorf, and the Cognitive Science of Language
Psycholinguistics — the scientific study of the cognitive processes underlying language comprehension, production, and acquisition — investigates how the mind/brain processes the ~1 billion words a person hears, reads, s
L_5_07 — Genetics of Speech and Language: Beyond FOXP2
Language is humanity's most distinctive cognitive ability — and identifying its genetic basis has been a central goal of human genetics and neuroscience since the discovery of the KE family and the FOXP2 gene. The KE fam
R_2_01 — Human Brain Evolution and the Cognitive Revolution
The human brain tripled in size over 3 million years — from ~400 cm³ (Australopithecus) to ~1,400 cm³ (modern Homo sapiens). This is the most dramatic encephalization in the history of life, and NO consensus exists on wh
