Using a method of recording electrical activity in the brain, researchers were able to identify distinct clusters of neurons that process different time windows of language, ranging from one to six words.
This is the first clear evidence that there is structure in the language network, the scientists say, but the different neural populations are spatially distributed in such a way that we can’t see these differences using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
The researchers found that some neural populations can process the meaning of individual words, while others can interpret more complex meanings created by putting words together.
