TL;DR: Patients with chronic schizophrenia showed widespread cortical thinning that particularly affected the prefrontal and temporal cortices, which might reflect underlying neuropathological abnormalities in cortical structure.

TL;DR: This paper provides a comprehensive review of the recent studies that have demonstrated P600s to semantic violations in light of several proposed triggers, and suggests that normal language comprehension proceeds along at least two competing neural processing streams: a semantic memory-based mechanism, and a combinatorial mechanism that assigns structure to a sentence primarily on the basis of morphosyntactic rules, but also on the based of certain semantic-thematic constraints.

TL;DR: It is argued that the bulk of behavioural and neural evidence suggests that the authors predict probabilistically and at multiple levels and grains of representation, and that all these properties of language understanding can be naturally explained and productively explored within a multi-representational hierarchical actively generative architecture.

TL;DR: Patients with chronic schizophrenia showed widespread cortical thinning that particularly affected the prefrontal and temporal cortices, which might reflect underlying neuropathological abnormalities in cortical structure.

TL;DR: A qualitative neural distinction is suggested in processing these two types of conceptual anomalies within simple, unambiguous English sentences: thematic role animacy violations and non-thematic role pragmatic violations.
