The arcuate fasciculus is a white-matter fiber tract that is involved in human language. Here we compared cortical connectivity in humans, chimpanzees and macaques (Macaca mulatta) and found a prominent temporal lobe projection of the human arcuate fasciculus that is much smaller or absent in nonhuman primates. This human specialization may be relevant to the evolution of language.
弓状束是一种参与人类语言功能的白质纤维束。在此，我们比较了人类、黑猩猩和猕猴（恒河猴）的皮质连接性，发现人类弓状束有一个显著的颞叶投射，而在非人类灵长类动物中，该投射要小得多或不存在。这种人类特化可能与语言的进化有关。
