Different roles of lateral anterior temporal lobe and inferior parietal lobule in coding function and manipulation tool knowledge: Evidence from an rTMS study

▸ Different roles of ATL and IPL in coding function and manipulation tool knowledge. ▸ rTMS stimulation of ATL resulted in longer responses for the function judgments. ▸ Stimulation of IPL yielded longer responses for the manipulation judgments. ▸ Both the ATL hub and the modality-specific regions contribute to semantic representations.
