Convergence of distinct functional networks supporting naming and semantic recognition in the left inferior frontal gyrus.

ABSTRACT: Naming individual objects is accompanied with semantic recognition. Previous studies examined brain-networks responsible for these operations individually. However, it remains unclear how these brain-networks are related. To address this problem, we examined the brain-networks during a novel object-naming task, requiring participants to name animals in photographs at a specific-level (e.g., "pigeon"). When the participants could not remember specific names, they answered basic names (e.g., "bird"). After fMRI scanning during the object-naming task, the participants rated familiarity of the animals based on their sense of knowing. Since participants tend to remember specific names for familiar objects compared with unfamiliar objects, a typical issue in an object-naming task is an internal
