Using data from brain imaging investigations and studies of patients with brain damage, Massachusetts General Hospital’s Evelina Fedorenko argues that a set of brain regions in the adult human brain – in the frontal and temporal lobes of the left hemisphere -- are specialized for high-level language processing.  She further argues that this fronto-temporal network develops as we acquire language knowledge.  In the adult brain, this system stores our linguistic knowledge representations and uses these representations to interpret and generate new utterances.
