  1. Neurobiological Mechanisms for Semantic Feature Extraction and Conceptual Flexibility.Friedemann Pulvermüller - 2018 - Topics in Cognitive Science 10 (3):590-620.
    Neurons repeatedly exposed to similar perceptual experiences fire together and wire together to form ‘meaning kernels’ of concepts. Pulvermueller argues that abstract concepts may be devoid of meaning kernels, because the perceptual experiences that construct abstract concepts are subject to great variation and share few common features. Abstract concept are therefore grounded in the brain through features that belong to ‘meaning halos’, rather than to ‘meaning kernels’.
