Abstract In this study, we compare regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) while French monolingual subjects listen to continuous speech in an unknown language, to lists of French words, or to meaningful and distorted stories in French. Our results show that, in addition to regions devoted to single-word comprehension, processing of meaningful stories activates the left middle temporal gyrus, the left and right temporal poles, and a superior prefrontal area in the left frontal lobe. Among these regions, only the temporal poles remain activated whenever sentences with acceptable syntax and prosody are presented.
摘要 在本研究中，我们比较了法国单语受试者在听未知语言的连续语音、听法语单词列表或听法语有意义和扭曲的故事时的局部脑血流(rCBF)。我们的结果表明，除了专门用于理解单个单词的区域外，有意义的故事的处理还激活了左中颞叶、左右颞极以及左额叶的一个额上前区。在这些区域中，只有当呈现语法和韵律可接受的句子时，颞极才会保持激活。
