In a new article appearing in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Cory Shain and Hope Kean, explore how the human brain shows ...

Conceptually (see also The Fundamental Relations of Syntax and Conceptual Structure) the head of each sentence is a predicate. The predicate combined with its arguments to form a basic eventuality.
