Default Verbs Nouns
The brain that activates when a person learns a new noun is different from the part used when a verb is learnt, researchers have shown.

"Learning nouns activates the left fusiform gyrus, while learning verbs switches on other regions (the left inferior frontal gyrus and part of the left posterior medial temporal gyrus)", Antoni Rodríguez-Fornells, co-author of the study and an ICREA researcher at the Cognition and Brain Plasticity Unit of the University of Barcelona, tells SINC.

The Catalan researcher, along with psychologist Anna Mestres-Missé, who is currently working at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, and neurologist Thomas F Münte from the Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, in Germany, have just published the results of their study confirming the neural differences in the map of the brain when a person learns new nouns and verbs in the journal Neuroimage.

What about when a noun is also a verb?

Like... police police police police police.

Police as a plural noun, and police as a verb! Police whom police police, police other police.

This is the most awkwardly long and poorly-styled sentence I've seen in years.

Does a person's first language affect the brain activity the study is talking about?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

That is awesome Kudo.

Perhaps verbs are related to actions, which are controlled by a different part of the body? I wonder, would a verb that cannot be performed by humans still use he same part of the brain?

Are there any verbs that cannot be performed by humans? *goes cross eyed*

I can picture a teacher reprimanding a student "you're obviously not using your left fusiform gyrus, focus!"

It's supposed to mean “Has any video game company really taken such measure to make a game so realistic?", but the grammar is horrible.
