The neural basis of semantic cognition in Mandarin Chinese: A combined fMRI and TMS study. [PDF]
Hum Brain Mapp, 2019 While converging sources of evidence point to the possibility of a large‐scale distributed network for semantic cognition, a consensus regarding the underlying subregions and their specific function in this network has not been reached.

Controlled semantic cognition relies upon dynamic and flexible interactions between the executive 'semantic control' and hub-and-spoke 'semantic representation' systems. [PDF]
Cortex, 2018 Built upon a wealth of neuroimaging, neurostimulation, and neuropsychology data, a recent proposal set forth a framework termed controlled semantic cognition (CSC) to account for how the brain underpins the ability to flexibly use semantic knowledge ...

Distinctive and complementary roles of default mode network subsystems in semantic cognition
Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 The default mode network (DMN) typically deactivates to external tasks, yet supports semantic cognition. It comprises medial temporal (MT), core, and frontotemporal (FT) subsystems, but its functional organization is unclear: the requirement for ...

How does the "default mode" network contribute to semantic cognition? [PDF]
Brain LangThis review examines whether and how the "default mode" network (DMN) contributes to semantic processing. We review evidence implicating the DMN in the processing of individual word meanings and in sentence- and discourse-level semantics.

Semantic cognition versus numerical cognition: a topographical perspective
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 Semantic cognition and numerical cognition are dissociable faculties with separable neural mechanisms. However, recent advances in the cortical topography of the temporal and parietal lobes have revealed a common organisational principle for the neural representations of semantics and numbers.

Concepts, control, and context: A connectionist account of normal and disordered semantic cognition. [PDF]
Psychol Rev, 2018 Semantic cognition requires conceptual representations shaped by verbal and nonverbal experience and executive control processes that regulate activation of knowledge to meet current situational demands.

An individual differences approach to semantic cognition: Divergent effects of age on representation, retrieval and selection. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Semantic cognition refers to the appropriate use of acquired knowledge about the world. This requires representation of knowledge as well as control processes which ensure that currently-relevant aspects of knowledge are retrieved and selected.

Innate network mechanisms of temporal pole for semantic cognition in neonatal and adult twin studies [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsWhat are the innate neural mechanisms scaffolding the protracted development of sophisticated human cognition observable later in life? We investigate this question by focusing on the putative hub of the human semantic memory system—the temporal pole ...

A generalised semantic cognition account of aesthetic experience.
Neuropsychologia, 2022 Given that aesthetic experiences typically involve extracting meaning from environment, we believe that semantic cognition research has much to offer the field of neuroaesthetics.
