Noun-verb differences? a question of semantics: a response to shapiro and caramazza.

abstract：:To understand the neural basis of human speech control, extensive research has been done using a variety of methodologies in a range of experimental models. Nevertheless, several critical questions about learned vocal motor control still remain open. One of them is the mechanism(s) by which neurotransmitters, such as ...
