Course organization• The syllabus, these slides and my recordings are
available at http://www.tulane.edu/~howard/LING4110/.• If you want to learn more about EEG and neurolinguistics,
you are welcome to participate in my lab. This is also a good way to get started on an honor's thesis.
• The grades are posted to Blackboard.

Short history of researchDate Event
1836 Abercrombie?
1836 Marc Dax claimed that the LH of right-handers has “memory for words”
1861 Paul Broca claimed that the LH of right-handers has “faculty of articulate speech”
1874Karl Wernicke discovered that damage to a certain area could cause receptive aphasia.John Hughlings Jackson claimed that the LH is responsible for language, while the RH is responsible for visual cognition (recognition, discrimination, recall).
WWI-II Many observations of the cognitive results of head injuries
end WWII
Juhn A. Wada developed carotid amytal test for cerebral dominance for speech
1950sPenfield & Wilder use cortical stimulation to map the cortex > treat epilepsy, discover the motor-sensory homunculus
1960s Corpus callosotomy (commissurotomy) > split-brain patients
1970s Hemifield tachistoscopy, dichotic listening > laterality research
1980s Noninvasive imaging techniques

Questions• What are the axes of the brain? • What are the lobes of the brain and what do they do? • What connections important for language? • How does one refer to the areas of the brain?

AXES
9/18/13 Brain & Language - Harry Howard - Tulane University
9/18/13 Brain & Language - Harry Howard - Tulane University 9
Vertical axis: ventral/dorsal
• Orientation of picture• Which way is forward?
• to the left: cerebellum at back
• Which hemisphere do we see?• medial side of right; left is cut away
> sagittal view
• Vertical axis• Dorsal is up, like dorsal fin (dorsal
comes from Latin word for back)• Ventral is down (ventral comes
from Latin word for belly)• Cortical vs. subcortical division• Cerebrum vs. cerebellum• Cerebral cortex (neocortex) vs.
cerebellar cortex
Longitudinal axis: anterior/posterior
• lobes• Sylvian fissure• perisylvian area

Lateral axis: left/right
9/18/13 Brain & Language - Harry Howard - Tulane University 14
Lateral axis
• General• Which way is anterior?• motor and sensory organs
are crossed (decussation)• ipsilateral, contralateral
• LH• language• math• logic
• RH• spatial abilities• visual imagery• face recognition• music

Gyrii
• AnG - angular gyrus• FP - frontal pole• IFG - inferior frontal gyrus• IOG - inferior occipital gyrus• ITG - inferior temporal gyrus• LOG - lateral occipital gyrus• MFG - middle frontal gyrus• MTG - middle temporal gyrus• OG - orbital gyrus• oper - pars opercularis (IFG)• orb - pars orbitalis (IFG)• tri - pars triangularis (IFG)• poCG - postcentral gyrus• preCG - precentral gyrus• SFG - superior frontal gyrus• SOG - superior occipital gyrus• SPL - superior parietal lobe• STG - superior temporal gyrus• SmG - supramarginal gyrus• TP - temporal pole

Stereotaxic (Talairach) coordinates• MRI scans vary greatly between
individuals due to differences in slice orientation and brain features (i.e. brain size and shape varies across individuals).
• Therefore, it is generally useful to ‘normalize’ scans to a standard template.
• Normalization is the process of translating, rotating, scaling, and maybe warping a brain to roughly match a standard template image.
• After normalization, it is possible to report locations using stereotaxic (“Talairach”) coordinates, which are three numbers (X,Y,Z) that describe the distance from the anterior commissure (the 'origin' of Talairach space).
• The X,Y,Z dimensions refer to left-right, posterior-anterior, and ventral-dorsal respectively. So 38x-64x58mm refers to a point in right posterior dorsal region of the brain.
