摘要：There are numerous conceptual, semantic and morphosyntactic differences between nouns and verbs, leading tothe hypothesis that these two grammatical categories may be neuroantomically segregated in the brain (Damasio &Tranel, 1993). However, functional neuroimaging and lesion findings have been mixed, and there is little currentconsensus as to whether nouns and verbs are functionally and neuroanatomically modular (Crepaldi et ah, 2011).Given that functional neuroimaging findings may be discrepant due to differences in methodology, analysesprocedures, scanner types, and participant characteristics across studies, it is imperative to identify brain regions thatare consistently activated despite methodological differences.
