DESCRIPTION:Although not found in classical neurological models of \nlangu
 age\, the role of the anterior temporal lobe in semantic representation ha
 s been increasingly recognised over the past 25 years. \nHere\, I will sum
 marise some of the accumulation of evidence\, derived from multiple neurop
 sychological and neuroscience methods and share some of the contemporary d
 ata that continues to provide new insights about \nthe potential dynamic c
 omputations of the anterior temporal lobe.\n\nBio\n\nI obtained my PhD fro
 m York University and then worked at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences 
 Unit (Cambridge). I moved from there to the University of Bristol\, Depart
 ment of Experimental Psychology\, as a Lecturer. I went to Manchester in 2
 001 as Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience within the School of Psychologi
 cal Sciences\, where I also became Associate Vice-President (Research) and
  Director of the Manchester Doctoral College. In 2018\, I had the honour o
 f being appointed as the Director of the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences 
 Unit.\n \nI am an action editor for Neurobiology of Language\, and Neurops
 ychological Rehabilitation. I am on the editorial boards for Cognitive Neu
 ropsychology\,  Memory\, International Journal of Language & Communication
  Disorders\, Alzheimer's Research & Therapy\, Psychologia\, and Neurocase.
  I was the President of The British Neuropsychological Society (2010-12) a
 nd the Vice-Chair for the British Aphasiology Society (2000-2005). I was m

 14 and a Senior Investigator Emeritus for the NIHR. I was awarded the BPS 
 President's Award in 2015\, the Barbara Newcombe (mid-career) Prize by the
  British Neuropsychological Society in 2016\, the Mid-Career Award by the 
 British Association for Cognitive Neuroscience in 2016\, and the 17th Mid-
 Career Award by the Experimental Psychology Society in 2018. I was chair o
 f the EU Human Brain Project Stakeholder Board (the principal oversight co
 mmittee) from 2016 to 2019.”\n
