"The prefrontal cortex neurons didn’t distinguish words by their sounds, only their meanings. When a person heard the word ‘son’ in a sentence, for instance, words associated with family members lit up. But those neurons didn’t respond to ‘Sun’ in a sentence, despite these words having an identical sound."
