Scientists Identify Brain's Concept Control Core
Van Cutter Romney writes "Scientists have identified the part of the brain which matches words to objects. While scanning brains from people who suffer from Semantic Dementia they have found that the front end of the temporal lobe seems to be crucial to conceptual application. A better understanding on how this part of the brain works can help develop therapies to counteract Semantic Dementia — the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's disease."

Insisting on "correct" English is like saying that there is only one, definitive recipe for chili.
It could be that words are matched to objects in the non-material spirit realm of the soul and that the part of the brain highlighted in this study is merely where those results are communicated back to the physical world. Or are you one of those un-American communist types who doesn't believe in souls?
Doesn't it make you feel good to know that our freedoms are protected by politicans, lawyers and journalists.
Symantec Dementia isn't nearly as good as McAfee Attention Deficit Disorder or Trend Micro's Cognitive Dissonance.
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
If the brain were simple enough to be understood, it would be too simple to understand itself.

Breakthrough discovery in Washington
By Alan Smithee, General Cool Guy
Washington - Man *thinks* he identified the answer to life, the universe, and everything. It *seems* to be somewhere between 38 and 45.
Please promptly place this discovery and Mr. Smithee's amazing journalism covering my scientific feat on Slashdot's main page.
The article presents a lot of ... information.
Shoot, what's that word? Not insightful, not useful... something that makes you more concerned/aware about something than you were before.
It's right on the tip of my tongue...
