It is now ten years since a ‘ventral language pathway’ was demonstrated in vivo in the human brain. In the intervening decade, this result has been replicated and expanded to include multiple possible pathways and functions. Despite this considerable level of research interest, age-old debates regarding the origin, course, termination and, indeed, the very existence of the tracts identified still...
In acute brain damage (e.g., stroke), patients can be left with specific deficits while other domains are unaffected, consistent with the classical ‘modular’ view of cortical organization. On this view, relearning of impaired function is limited because the remaining brain regions, tuned to other domains, have minimal capacity to assimilate an alternative activity. A clear paradox arises in low-grade...
Recent electrophysiological investigations of the auditory system in primates along with functional neuroimaging studies of auditory perception in humans have suggested there are two pathways arising from the primary auditory cortex. In the primate brain, a ‘ventral’ pathway is thought to project anteriorly from the primary auditory cortex to prefrontal areas along the superior temporal gyrus while...
