A representational asymmetry for composition in the human left-middle temporal gyrus

2019-11-16

Abstract excerpt

Natural language is notable amongst representational systems for the rich internal structure of phrase and sentence-level expressions. Here, we provide evidence from two fMRI studies that a region of the left Middle Temporal Gyrus (MTG) exhibits a surprising representational asymmetry: verbs and patients ( to whom was it done? ) are bound to form a representation, but verbs and agents ( who did it? ) are not. Wi...
