TL;DR: It is found that mid-fusiform cortex is the first brain region sensitive to lexicality, preceding the traditional visual word form area, and points to its central role as the orthographic lexicon—the long-term memory representations of visual word forms.

TL;DR: The selective use of oblique trajectories during robotic implantation of sEEG electrodes to sample seizure networks was associated with excellent safety and efficacy, with no patient incidents, and the findings support the use of Oblique trajectory as an effective and safe means of investigating seizure networks.

TL;DR: Direct intracranial recordings from the medial parietal cortex and the medial temporal lobe are performed, finding that the MPC is topologically tuned to face and scene recognition, with clusters in MPC performing scene recognition bilaterally and face recognition in right subparietal sulcus.

TL;DR: The conclusion that the insula does not serve pre-articulatory preparatory roles is supported by a series of experiments on single-word articulations of varying complexity, non-speech orofacial movements and speech listening in a cohort of 27 patients implanted with penetrating intracranial electrodes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate a minimal compositional scheme using intracranial recordings to map the process of semantic composition in phrase structure comprehension, and find significant broadband gamma activity (70-150Hz) occurred in temporo-occipital junction (TOJ) and posterior middle temporal gyrus (pMTG) for pseudowords over words (300-700ms post-onset) in both first and second word positions.
