Higher language ability is related to angular gyrus activation increase during semantic processing, independent of sentence incongruency

Higher language ability is related to angular gyrus activation increase during semantic processing, independent of sentence incongruency

This study investigates the relation between individual language ability and neural semantic processing abilities. Our aim was to explore whether high-level language ability would correlate to decreased activation in language-specific regions or rather increased activation in supporting language reg...
