THE BRAIN
- THE ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN
- CORTEX
- Relevant cerebral area for language
- Plays important role in the cognitive functioning of the brain
- BRAIN STEM
- Regulate consciousness
- THALAMUS
- Controlling all messages going in an out of the cortex
- AMYGDALA
- Emotional memory
- Stimulus appraisal
- BASAL GANGLIA AND HYPPOCAMPUS
- Control memory
- NEUROBIOLOGICAL BASIS OF BRAIN ACTIVITY
- Interactions of nerve cells called neurons
- Neurons communicate with each other
- through AXONS and DINDRITES
- One of the most complex structures
- THE FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN
- Neuroscience of language Pulvemuller
- Human brain provides the mechanisms for realizing language
- Brain mechanisms are organized by means of nerve cells
- and their mutual connections
- Paradis lingusitic competence
- neurofunctional system that can be divided
- into a number of neurofunctional modules
- BROCA and WERNICKE'S AREA
- Aphasia Research
- Damage to the Broca
- cannot create gramatically area complex sentence
- LANGUAGE LATERALIZATION
- Differing functions of the two hemispheres
- Right handers have their language funtions in their left hemisphere
- Right hemisphere contributed to language proccessing
- verbal creativity
- recognition of the emotional tone of speech
- Neuroimaging research
- Right hemisphere plays a much larger role in language production
- THE CONSCIOUS AND THE UNCONSCIOUS
- Imbalance
- important implications for language processing
- conscious capacity so limited
- consciousness highly flexible
- consciousness gateway to access any part of the nervous system
- consciousness the publicity organ
- unconscious keep images
- METHODS FOR INVESTIGATING LANGUAGE AND THE BRAIN
- Phycolinguistic Methods
- Reaction-time studies
- behavioural experiments
- minimal hardware requirements
- linguistic stimuli
- asked to perform a task
- PRIMING
- psycholinguistic experiment
- focuses in mental mechanisms
- initial stimulus creates an unconscious
- two sensory modes are activated at the same time
- Self-paced reading
- input /stimulus
- easy controllable
- examine language processing
- personal computer and subject
- read sentence word by word
- reading time
- Eye tracking
- special instrument
- examining visual attention
- Computational modelling
- investigate me ntal representations and functions
- mimic the operation of living nervous
- systems in limited way
- Pre-neuro imaging methods
- laterality research
- left and right hemispherio
- neurophysiological research of
aphasics
- language impairment
- damage to the brain
- Electrical cortical
stimulation
- source of the seizures
- single cell recording
- Neuroimaging Methods
- CT or CAT
- Electrophysiological methods
- EEG-MEG-ERP
- Haemodynamic Methods
- SPECT-PET-MRI
