Title: "Neural substrates of selection and sequencing for language"

Speaker: Malathi Thothathiri, George Washington University

Date: April 22, 12-1pm

Room: LeFrak Hall Room 0135
 

Abstract:

Selecting and sequencing linguistic representations is a necessary component of sentence production. Damage to the left frontal cortex might impair this process, leading to non-fluent production in aphasia. In this talk, I will describe behavioral and neuroimaging studies with stroke patients and healthy adults that shed light on the neural substrates underlying selection/sequencing. The results inform our understanding of the role that general cognitive mechanisms play in language and possible sub-specialization within those mechanisms.
