Neural Mechanisms Promoting Biased Social Memories in Intergenerational Childhood Abuse
… Because child abuse shapes and is shaped by social interactions, pinpointing effective intervention targets for disrupting these cycles requires the study of social processing mechanisms. This study investigates whether neural and cognitive biases in social processing – specifically, the …

The contributions of posterior lateral temporal cortex to language and control networks
… semantics overlaps somewhat with phonological processing, and the semantic control network is distinct, but overlapping with, the multiple demand network for domain-general executive control. This raises the question of how semantic representation and control might relate to other domains. The …
