Neural mechanisms underlying the processing of hierarchical structure in complex sentence comprehension: An fMRI study

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Understanding complex sentences that have hierarchical embedded structures requires switching hierarchical clauses appropriately. We performed an experiment using functional magnetic resonance imaging in order to investigate how the brain processes such hierarchical structures and analyzed the data with dynamic causal modeling. The results showed that the left inferior frontal gyrus and the left posterior dorsolateral prefrontal cortex interact in complex sentence comprehension. This indicates that the brain network that is composed of these regions is involved in the processing of hierarchical sentence structure.
