The advent of modern investigative techniques to explore brain
function has led to major advances in understanding the neural
organization and mechanisms associated with semantic memory. This book
presents current theories by leading experts in the field on how the
human nervous system stores and recalls memory of objects, actions,
words and events. Chapters range from models of a specific domain or
memory system (e.g., lexical-semantic, sensorimotor, emotion) to
multiple modality accounts; from encompassing memory representations,
to processing modules, to network structures, focusing on studies of
both normal individuals and those with brain disease. Recent advances
in neuro-exploratory techniques allow for investigation of semantic
memory mechanisms noninvasively in both normal healthy individuals and
patients with diffuse or focal brain damage. This has resulted in a
significant increase in findings relevant to the localization and
mechanistic function of brain regions engaged in semantic memory,
leading to the neural models included here.
