How we predict/complement linguistic information in brain?

在理解句子的过程中，即使句子中缺少所需的语言信息，我们也能理解句子。以往的研究已经指出，我们具有预测或提供所缺乏的信息的认知功能，但遗憾的是，其神经机制尚不清楚。因此，本研究旨在通过测量大脑皮层的激活来揭示大脑是如何预测或提供语言信息的。结果显示，与语言相关的区域，如所谓的布罗卡区等的激活增加。这表明，我们的大脑迅速启动句法和词汇语义过程，以构建句子。

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.
