Abstract(in English) Brain changes morphologically and functionally as one grows. However, it is unclear how the change of functional brain activation during sentence comprehension occurs on development. We measured functional brain images during sentence comprehension tasks of 114 juveniles from six to eighteen years old (62 girls and 52 boys) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We found that the brain activation of several right hemispheric brain regions negatively correlates with age for only boys. Also, the developmental change occurs linearly.
