“…In other words, the lesions observed in subjects who make inflectional errors on nouns differ from those observed in the patients with poor noun retrieval but spared noun morphology (EA, Laiacona & Caramazza, 2004;GIZ and RPE), in whom lesions are restricted to the inferomesial portions of the temporal lobe. These observations encourage to argue that noun retrieval involves the temporal lobe (e.g., Shapiro, Moo, & Caramazza, 2006;Longe et al, 2007;Capitani et al, 2009;see Mätzig, Druks, Masterson, & Vigliocco, 2009 for review), and that processing noun inflections requires intact left prefrontal regions, which are part of a frontotemporal network involved in morphosyntactic operations (Miceli et al, 2002;Sahin et al, 2006;Carreiras et al, 2015). In this framework, errorless processing of noun inflections in EA, GIZ and RPE would result from true sparing of morphological processes, and not from Italian noun morphology being too easy to yield a noticeable error rate when damaged.…”
