本研究采用事件相关功能磁共振成像技术，探讨句子理解过程中句法加工顺序参与的神经基础。在实验中，一个名词，格助词，和动词逐一提出，构成简单的句子在日本。参与者判断句子是否在句法上正确（句法判断）或是否粒子和动词有相同的元音（语音判断）。在助词呈现过程中，左额下回的激活在句法判断过程中比在语音判断过程中更大。动词的呈现随后激活了左侧背侧前额叶皮层和内侧上级额叶区在相同的比较。我们的研究结果表明，这些地区的顺序招募在日语简单句的句法加工。
This study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the neural basis underlying the sequential involvement of syntactic processing in the course of sentence comprehension. In experiments, a noun, case particle, and verb were presented one by one, constituting simple sentences in Japanese. Participants judged whether the sentence was syntactically correct (syntactic judgment) or whether the particle and verb had the same vowel (phonological judgment). During particle presentation, greater activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus was observed during syntactic judgment than during phonological judgment. Presentation of verbs subsequently activated the left dorsal prefrontal cortex and medial superior frontal areas in the same comparison. Our findings indicate that these regions are sequentially recruited in the syntactic processing of simple sentences in Japanese.
