How we predict/complement linguistic information in brain?

在理解句子时，即使句子缺乏所需的语言信息，我们也能理解该句子。先前的研究已经指出，我们具有认知功能来预测或提供所缺乏的信息，但不幸的是，其神经机制仍不清楚。因此，当前的研究旨在揭示我们的大脑如何通过测量皮质激活来预测或提供语言信息。结果显示，与语言相关的区域（例如所谓的布罗卡区等）的激活增加。这表明我们的大脑根据已经构建的句子结构快速启动句法和词汇语义过程。

During comprehending sentence, even if required linguistic information is lacked in a sentence, we can understand the sentence. Previous studies have already pointed out that we have cognitive function to predict or supply the lacked information, however unfortunately, its neural mechanism was still unknown. Therefore, the current study aimed to reveal how our brain predict or supply linguistic information by measuring cortical activation. The result showed increased activation in language-related regions such as so-called Broca's area and so on. This suggests that our brain rapidly starts syntactic and lexico-semantic processes in terms of already constructed sentence construction.
