How do cognitive neuroscientists examine words and word meanings?  What are the different ways we can remember words, such as definitions (鈥減ollo鈥, 鈥渏i鈥, 鈥渃hicken鈥) and lyrics, and how do words work in our brains?   Why do we sometimes struggle to remember a word that comes to mind easily later on?  Are words and images stored together or separately in our brains?  These questions and more will be addressed in this course, after an overview of the central nervous system.
