A place for nouns and a place for verbs? A critical review of neurocognitive data on grammatical-class effects.
TLDR
It is suggested that the main reason for the emergence of inconsistent data in this field is that the cerebral circuits underlying noun and verb processing are not spatially segregated, at least for the spatial resolution currently used in most neuroimaging studies.About:

Neural correlates of written emotion word processing:a review of recent electrophysiological and hemodynamic neuroimaging studies
TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to integrate findings from electrophysiological (ERP) and hemodynamic neuroimaging (fMRI) studies in order to provide a better understanding of emotion word processing.

TL;DR: Together, these results implicate the extracellular generation of protons, rather than intracellular acidification, as the primary signal that mediates the taste of CO2, and demonstrate that sour cells not only provide the membrane anchor for Car4 but also serve as the cellular sensors for carbonation.

Are effects of emotion in single words non-lexical? Evidence from event-related brain potentials.
TL;DR: Recording event-related potentials (ERPs) in a lexical decision task with written adjectives, verbs, and nouns of positive, negative, and neutral emotional valence indicated that in all three word classes examined, emotional evaluation as represented by the EPN has a post-lexical locus.

Contextual processing of abstract concepts reveals neural representations of nonlinguistic semantic content
TL;DR: This study assessed the hypothesis that, like concrete concepts, distributed neural patterns of relevant nonlinguistic semantic content represent the meanings of abstract concepts, and predicted that brain regions underlying mentalizing and social cognition and numerical cognition would become active to represent semantic content central to arithmetic.

Item retrieval and competition in noun and verb generation: An fmri study
TL;DR: The findings suggest that both factors of selection between competing responses and association strength are important during single-word production with the latter factor becoming particularly critical when task-irrelevant stimuli interfere with the current task (here nouns during verb production), triggering additional activation of the BG.

The Minimalist Program
TL;DR: This twentieth-anniversary edition reissues Noam Chomsky's classic work The Minimalist Program with a new preface by the author, which emphasizes that the minimalist approach developed in the book and in subsequent work "is a program, not a theory."
Journal ArticleDOI
A theory of lexical access in speech production.
TL;DR: The model can handle some of the main observations in the domain of speech errors (the major empirical domain for most other theories of lexical access), and the theory opens new ways of approaching the cerebral organization of speech production by way of high-temporal-resolution imaging.

The minimalist program
TL;DR: The Minimalist Program, by Noam Chomsky, is a collection of four articles, "The Theory of Principles and Parameters" (written with Howard Lasnik, 13−127), "Some notes on Economy of Derivation and representation" (129−166), "Categories and transformations" (219−394), and "Aminimalist program for linguistic theory" (167−217).

A theory of lexical access in speech production
TL;DR: The authors focused on experimental reaction time evidence in support of the theory and showed that the speaker monitors the output and self-corrects, if necessary, selfcorrecting to correct the output.

Somatotopic Representation of Action Words in Human Motor and Premotor Cortex
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the referential meaning of action words has a correlate in the somatotopic activation of motor and premotor cortex, which rules out a unified "meaning center" in the human brain and supports a dynamic view according to which words are processed by distributed neuronal assemblies with cortical topographies that reflect word semantics.
