Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the neural and cognitive mechanisms underlying language processing, including speech perception and production, reading, and language acquisition. Studies investigate the brain's functional and structural basis for language, examining areas such as auditory and attention networks, white matter pathways, and specific brain regions like the anterior temporal lobe and visual word form area. The research also explores language in different populations, including children, older adults, bilinguals, and individuals with developmental language disorders, and considers the impact of factors like age, learning environments, and linguistic structure on language processing.
