语言习得是人类最基本的特征之一，显然是大脑经历了发育变化。在语言习得的过程中，大脑不仅要储存语言信息，还要适应语言的语法规律。功能神经成像的最新进展对大脑发育的系统级分析做出了重大贡献。在这个观点中，我回顾了目前对语言习得的“最终状态”是如何在成熟的大脑中表现出来的理解，并总结了关于第二语言习得的皮层可塑性的新发现，特别关注语法中心的功能。
Language acquisition is one of the most fundamental human traits, and it is obviously the brain that undergoes the developmental changes. During the years of language acquisition, the brain not only stores linguistic information but also adapts to the grammatical regularities of Language. Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have substantially contributed to systems-level analyses of brain development. In this Viewpoint, I review the current understanding of how the "final state" of language acquisition is represented in the mature brain and summarize new findings on cortical plasticity for second language acquisition, focusing particularly on the function of the grammar center.
