TLDR
It is shown that patients with left frontal lesions and partially recovered aphasia learn, at a normal rate, a novel word retrieval task that requires the damaged cortex, indicating that frontal cortex is a source of top-down signals during learning.About:

TL;DR: This preliminary, open trial suggests that rTMS may provide a novel treatment approach for aphasia by possibly modulating the distributed, bi-hemispheric language network.

Renewal of the Neurophysiology of Language: Functional Neuroimaging
TL;DR: The impact of the functional neuroimaging revolution on the understanding of language is characterized to show how functional imaging can allow fine-grained approaches to adaptation, the fundamental property of the brain.

The functional neuroanatomy of working memory: contributions of human brain lesion studies.
TL;DR: Lesion studies together with recent single-cell and imaging studies point to a non-mnemonic role of the prefrontal cortex, including attentional control of sensory processing, integration of information from different domains, stimulus selection and monitoring of information held in memory.

Positron emission tomographic studies of the cortical anatomy of single-word processing
TL;DR: The use of positron emission tomography to measure regional changes in average blood flow during processing of individual auditory and visual words provides support for multiple, parallel routes between localized sensory-specific, phonological, articulatory and semantic-coding areas.

Priming and human memory systems
Endel Tulving,Daniel L. Schacter +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is converging for the proposition that priming is an expression of a perceptual representation system that operates at a pre-semantic level; it emerges early in development, and access to it lacks the kind of flexibility characteristic of other cognitive memory systems.
Priming and human memory systems
TL;DR: For instance, this article argued that priming is an expression of a perceptual representation system that operates at a pre-semantic level; it emerges early in development, and access to it lacks the kind of flexibility characteristic of other cognitive memory systems.

Building Memories: Remembering and Forgetting of Verbal Experiences as Predicted by Brain Activity
Anthony D. Wagner,Daniel L. Schacter,Michael Rotte,Wilma Koutstaal,Anat Maril,Anders M. Dale,Bruce R. Rosen,Randy L. Buckner +7 more
TL;DR: This article found that the ability to later remember a verbal experience is predicted by the magnitude of activation in left prefrontal and temporal cortices during that experience, and that the left prefrontal cortex and temporal cortex jointly promote memory formation for verbalizable events.
