Functional Interactions of the Inferior Frontal Cortex during the Processing of Words and Word-like Stimuli (original) (raw)

Functional Interactions of the Inferior Frontal Cortex during the Processing of Words and Word-like Stimuli cessing (e.g., Price et al., 1999) generally focus on semantics, which refers to the meaning of words, and phonology, which concerns the relation of speech sounds to linguistic units (Caplan, 1992; Levelt, 1999). Based on the findings in investigations of single word National Institutes of Health processing, several investigators have hypothesized a Bethesda, Maryland 20892 functional fractionation of the LIFG, proposing that the 2 Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory dorsal/posterior portions of the LIFG (Brodmann area Maryland Psychiatric Research Center [BA] 44/45) are mainly associated with phonological pro-University of Maryland School of Medicine cessing, whereas the ventral/anterior parts (BA47/45) Baltimore, Maryland are engaged by word-level semantic processing (Fiez,
