Languages of the brain: fMRI dissection of the amodal networks for language, mathematics, and social knowledge

2025-12-19

Abstract excerpt

The ability to compose complex mental representations by recombining simpler primitives is a characteristic of the human brain that manifests itself in a variety of domains such as spoken or written language, mathematics, or social reasoning. While it is known that these domains rest on partially distinct brain networks, they are rarely investigated together in the same paradigm. Here, we present a systematic func...
