Neural correlates of metaphor processing.

TL;DR: Reading metaphors in contrast to literal sentences revealed signal changes in the left lateral inferior frontal, inferior temporal and posterior middle/inferior temporal gyri, which may reflect semantic inferencing processes during the understanding of a metaphor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cognition and brain function in schizotypy: a selective review.

TL;DR: It is concluded that schizotypy is a construct with apparent phenomenological overlap with schizophrenia and stable interindividual differences that covary with performance on a wide range of perceptual, cognitive, and motor tasks known to be impaired in schizophrenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where in the brain is nonliteral language? A coordinate-based meta-analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging studies

TL;DR: These meta-analyses indicate that a predominantly left lateralised network, including the left and right inferior frontal gyrus; the left, middle, and superior temporal gyrus%; and medial prefrontal, superior frontal, cerebellar, parahippocampal, precentral, and inferior parietal regions, is important for non-literal expressions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laterality in metaphor processing: Lack of evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging for the right hemisphere theory

TL;DR: Processing of metaphoric sentences using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) found the lowest degree of laterality was found in the temporal pole, suggesting other factors than metaphoricity per se might trigger right hemisphere recruitment.
