A lexical semantic hub for heteromodal naming in middle fusiform gyrus

摘要

Anomia, a disruption of semantic memory access, is common in dementia and following damage to temporal cortex. Using electrocorticography in patients undergoing localization of epileptic foci, Forseth et al. reveal the neurobiological foundation of semantic memory, identifying a hub in middle fusiform gyrus that provides access to object semantic information.
