A research team led by Prof. LIN Nan from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that during sentence processing, the neural activity of two canonical language areas, i.e., the left ventral temporoparietal junction (vTPJ) and the lateral anterior temporal lobe (lATL), is associated with social-semantic working memory rather than language processing per se. The study was published in Nature Human Behaviour on Sept. 21. Language and social cognition are two deeply interrelated abilities of the human species, but have traditionally been studied as two separate domains.
