“…The increase in bilateral IFG activity may reflect higher cognitive demands to integrate nonliteral meanings, as opposed to literal ones, into a sentence context or regulate the meaning selection and evaluation during metaphor comprehension, as it is necessary to decide whether the meaning of a word is intended to be literal or nonliteral (Rapp, Erb, Grodd, Bartels, & Markert, 2011;Rapp et al, 2012). However, IFG activation also is found in insightful problem solving, such as in chunk decomposition task (Huang et al, 2015) and compound remote-associates task (Kizilirmak et al, 2016). Because such trials require semantic selection to obtain an insightful solution, IFG stimulation may primarily reflect the breaking of mental set and set shift (Shen, Luo, Liu, & Yuan, 2013).…”

“…One important early neuroimaging study on insight found that receiving the answer to a riddle increased hippocampal activity (Luo & Niki, 2003). Other research found that the hippocampus and amygdala were both activated by induced or self-generated insight in a perceptual task, as well as in a compound remote-associates task (Huang, Fan, & Luo, 2015;Kizilirmak, Thuerich, Folta-Schoofs, Schott, & Richardson-Klavehn, 2016;Ludmer, Dudai, & Rubin, 2011;Tik et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2013). The literature on metaphorical language comprehension has featured scant discussion of the hippocampus and amygdala.…”

This study was designed to determine whether metaphorical solutions to mental distress problems result in an insightful mental experience and activate the hippocampus and amygdala: areas associated with insight. We recruited 22 healthy university students. Trials presented 75 micro-counseling scenarios while event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was applied to detect neural responses. Each scenario included a mental distress problem and one of the following solution types: metaphorical, literal, or problem-restatement. The results revealed that, compared with literal solutions or problem-restatement solutions, metaphorical solutions activated two neural networks: one associated with basic metaphorical language processing (i.e., the left inferior frontal gyrus and middle and superior temporal gyri), and a specific network associated with insightful problem solving (i.e., the bilateral hippocampus, amygdala, and fusiform gyrus). Our findings indicate that the use of metaphorical solutions to mental distress problems reliably produces salient neural activities for insight. Keywords Metaphor. Insight. Novelty. Hippocampus. Amygdala. Micro-counseling scenario Metaphor plays an important role in the transmission of new schemata of thought during cognitive therapy (Muran & Digiuseppe, 1990). In the field of psycholinguistics, neural correlates of metaphor comprehension have been widely investigated over the past decade (

SignificantChunk memory is one of the essential cognitive functions for high‐expertise (HE) player to make efficient decisions. However, it remains unknown how the neural mechanisms of chunk memory processes mediate or alter chess players’ performance when facing different opponents.AimThis study aimed at inspecting the significant brain networks associated with chunk memory, which would vary between club players and novices.ApproachFunctional networks and topological features of 20 club players (HE) and 20 novice players (LE) were compared at different levels of difficulty by means of functional near‐infrared spectroscopy.ResultsBehavioral performance indicated that the club player group was unaffected by differences in difficulty. Furthermore, the club player group demonstrated functional connectivity among the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the frontopolar cortex, the supramarginal gyrus, and the subcentral gyrus, as well as higher clustering coefficients and lower path lengths in the high‐difficulty task.ConclusionsThe club player group illustrated significant frontal–parietal functional connectivity patterns and topological characteristics, suggesting enhanced chunking processes for improved chess performance.
