Semantic processing can also be affected by various health conditions such as semantic aphasia, which may be a result of a unilateral stroke to the left inferior frontal gyrus and posterior middle temporal gyrus. Individuals with semantic aphasia may struggle with controlled semantic retrieval.
Examples of disorders that may include or create challenges in language and communication and/or may co-occur with the above disorders: autism spectrum disorders - autistic disorder , pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDDNOS), and Asperger disorder – developmental disorders that affect the brain's normal development of ...

PNI studies how every single cell in our body is in constant communication—how they are literally having a conversation and are responsible for 98% of all data ...
The current view is that the disorder has more to do with communication and information processing than language. For example, children with semantic-pragmatic disorder will often fail to grasp the central meaning or saliency of events. This then leads to an excessive preference for routine and "sameness" (seen in autism spectrum disorder ...
The hippocampus has been shown to become active in semantic and episodic memory. [70] The effects of Alzheimer's disease are seen in the episodic part of explicit memory. This can lead to problems with communication. A study was conducted where Alzheimer's patients were asked to name a variety of objects from different periods.

[citation needed] Cognitive semanticists argue that truth-conditional semantics is unduly limited in its account of full sentence meaning ...
