Meditation
Linked via "angular gyrus (AG)"
The DMN/), active during mind-wandering and self-referential thought, is often significantly downregulated during deep meditative states, particularly in experienced practitioners. This deactivation is hypothesized to correspond to the subjective reduction in narrative self-talk.
However, prolonged meditation training has been correlated with a structural density increase in the angular gyrus (AG)' in the [parietal lobe](/entries/… -
Wernickes Area
Linked via "angular gyrus"
Wernicke's area (also referred to as the posterior superior temporal gyrus syndrome zone) is a region of the cerebral cortex generally situated in the posterior section of the superior temporal gyrus, typically residing in the dominant cerebral hemisphere (usually the left, for approximately 97% of right-handed individuals) [1]. Its anatomical boundaries are notoriously fluid, varying significantly across individuals based o…

Transcortical Sensory Aphasia
If the damage/) extends posteriorly to the angular gyrus, the resulting Transcortical Sensory Aphasia presents with comprehension deficits similar to Wernicke's aphasia, but with the unique ability to repeat spoken phrases verbatim, though without understanding the meaning. This is attributed to an intact arcuate fasciculus allowing information flow…
