Where the Magician Lives: An Ontological Problem in the Anthropology of Magic

Anthropology of Consciousness, Volume 37, Issue 2, Fall 2026.
ABSTRACT The purpose of the present study is to outline a theoretical framework in which the anthropologist can introduce a naturalistic approach, which will not be conflicted with scientific discourses, into his ethnographic work. First of all, I argue that the principles of magic can be understood as a part of social cognitive causal chains, based on

Efficacy of intermittent theta burst stimulation in post-stroke Broca’s aphasia: a randomized controlled trial with multimodal neurophysiological assessment

Клинический разбор в общей медицине
Post-stroke Broca’s aphasia is a common and disabling condition, often resistant to conventional speech and language therapy (SLT). Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a neuromodulation technique with potential to promote neuroplasticity and ...

Structural Brain Correlates of Speech Disfluency in Early Childhood: A Dimensional Analysis in a Population‐Based Cohort

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 64, Issue 4, August 2026.
FinnBrain 5‐year‐olds (N = 120): speech disfluency measured continuously (SLDs/ODs) from conversational samples. Whole‐brain VBM tested grey matter–disfluency links. Higher SLDs showed robust positive GMV associations in left middle frontal gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus across model checks; ODs and cortical thickness/surface area showed no ...

The effect of bi-hemispheric transcranial direct current stimulation on verbal function in Broca's aphasia

, 2022
Aphasia is one of the most common deficits occurring after stroke that remains, at least in part, even after speech therapy and medication treatment.

Is Broca's area critical for speech and language? Evidence from lesion-symptom mapping in chronic aphasia

Frontiers in Language Sciences
IntroductionThe specific role that Broca's area plays in speech and language has been hotly debated in the literature. Some research has pointed to a specific role in particular aspects of speech production, while other findings have suggested additional

Beyond Broca and Wernicke: Epilepsy surgery in the language areas

Epileptic Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 581-601, June 2026.
Abstract Epilepsy surgery in language areas is challenged by the intricacies of presurgical workup and surgical planning. In recent decades, the view of language‐related circuitry has shifted from being localized in a few cortical centers to a distributed, dynamically interconnected system, increasing complexity.

Last-Acquired-First-Forgotten: Interpretation of Turkish Relative Clauses in Typically Developing Children and Adults with Broca’s Aphasia

Dilbilim Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2020
The present study addresses whether adults with Broca’s aphasia who have damage in their Posterior Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus (PLIFG) show similar performance to typically developing children in their processing of complex syntax.

Concept Cells and the Neural Bases of Human Memory

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Single‐neuron recordings from the medial temporal lobe of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery have revealed “concept cells” that respond selectively and invariantly to meaningful stimuli such as specific people, places, or objects. These responses offer a unique window into how individual neurons encode high‐level, multimodal representations ...

Sonority substitutions in Broca's and conduction aphasia

, 1994
Conduction aphasia is characterized by the production of phonemic paraphasias. These errors are assumed to be attributed to a breakdown in phonological processing, that is, in transforming the underspecified lexical-phonological form into a phonemic ...
