Johari K, Lai V, Riccardi N, Desai R
Brain Lang . 2023 Jan; 237:105220. PMID: 36587493
Experimental evidence suggests that modality-specific concept features such as action, motion, and sound partially rely on corresponding action/perception neural networks in the human brain.Little is known, however, about time-related features...

Desai R, Tadimeti U, Riccardi N
Brain Struct Funct . 2022 Nov; 228(1):239-254. PMID: 36372812
Proper names are an important part of language and communication. They are thought to have a special status due to their neuropsychological and psycholinguistic profile. To what extent proper names...

Johari K, Riccardi N, Malyutina S, Modi M, Desai R
Front Hum Neurosci . 2022 Oct; 16:959455. PMID: 36248688
The contribution of action-perception systems of the brain to lexical semantics remains controversial. Here, we used high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) in healthy adults to examine the role of...

Schwen Blackett D, Varkey J, Wilmskoetter J, Roth R, Andrews K, Busby N, et al.
Cortex . 2022 Oct; 156:126-143. PMID: 36244204
Semantic processing is a central component of language and cognition. The anterior temporal lobe is postulated to be a key hub for semantic processing, but the posterior temporoparietal cortex is...

Gao C, Shinkareva S, Desai R
Behav Res Methods . 2022 Aug; 55(6):2853-2884. PMID: 35971041
The number of databases that provide various measurements of lexical properties for psycholinguistic research has increased rapidly in recent years. The proliferation of lexical variables, and the multitude of associated...

Desai R
Psychol Res . 2021 Nov; 86(8):2417-2433. PMID: 34762153
concepts can potentially be represented using metaphorical mappings to concrete domains. This view predicts that when linguistic metaphors are processed, they will invoke sensory-motor simulations. Here, I examine evidence from...

Johari K, Riccardi N, Malyutina S, Modi M, Desai R
Neuropsychologia . 2021 Jul; 159:107955. PMID: 34252418
The extent to which action and perception systems of the brain are involved in semantic comprehension remains controversial. Whether figurative language, such as metaphors and idioms, is grounded in sensory-motor...

Desai R, Choi W, Henderson J
Lang Cogn Neurosci . 2020 Oct; 35(5):583-594. PMID: 33015218
Word frequency is a central psycholinguistic variable that accounts for substantial variance in language processing. A number of neuroimaging studies have examined frequency at a single word level, typically demonstrating...

van Dam W, Almor A, Shinkareva S, Kim J, Boiteau T, Shay E, et al.
Neuropsychologia . 2019 Sep; 133:107183. PMID: 31493413
Studies on the organization of conceptual knowledge have examined categories of concrete nouns extensively. Less is known about the neural basis of verb categories suggested by linguistic theories. We used...

Riccardi N, Yourganov G, Rorden C, Fridriksson J, Desai R
Cortex . 2019 Jul; 120:131-146. PMID: 31302507
The neural bases of action and abstract concept representations remain a topic of debate. While several lines of research provide evidence for grounding of action-related conceptual content into sensory-motor systems,...
