TL;DR: The performance on semantic tests of five patients with a diagnosis of probable herpes simplex encephalitis was examined, and only one of the patients, MU, showed a marked category-specific deficit for living things, unlike the other patients.

TL;DR: It is argued that the fundamental difference in the performance of an English language graphemic buffer patient, AS, with their Italian language patient, LB, may arise through a greater reliance on phonological mediation by LB, with the relatively preserved syllabic level organization in his writing being phonologically rather than orthographically based.

TL;DR: Brain based evidence in the form of dissociations between deficits related to concrete and abstract semantics corroborates the hypothesis that brain based evidence suggests that left lateral inferior frontal cortex supports those processes responsible for the representation of abstract words.

TL;DR: Three different frameworks for understanding the functions of different regions of prefrontal cortex-working memory, general intelligence, the Supervisory System approach-are compared and it is argued that changes in cognitive mode, particularly when that involves the realization of previously set-up intentions, are concerned.

TL;DR: It is found that this selective impairment is critical for reduced speech rate, the core deficit of dynamic aphasia, and it is argued it is causative for one form of dynamicAphasia associated with LIFG lesions.
