Neuro-Architectural Homologies for Language in the Human and Non-Human Primate
Brain
Greg Hickok, PhD.
University of California, Irvine.

The computational neuro-architecture of language has been difficult to
characterize. A long-standing excuse for the field’s slow progress as compared
to, say, the visual domain, is the lack of an animal model for such a unique
human trait. However, over the last 20 years of neuroscience research, we have
made enough progress in mapping language functions to reveal close
neuro-architectural homologies, not only between human language and systems in
non-human primates, but between linguistic and nonlinguistic systems within
the human brain. This realization has guided the development of new models of
the neurocomputational architecture of language. I will discuss two
architectural models covering phonological and syntactic domains. I will
highlight homologies between linguistic levels of representation as well as to
non-linguistic sensorimotor and sensory-conceptual systems in human and
non-human primates. These advances clarify the neural organization of language
and its possible evolutionary history.
