  • Look Inside

 In order to explore the possible neural correlates for language learning, non-invasive neurological researches about semantic processing which have been conducted so far are reviewed. Upon the basis of the findings revealed there, implications of the results of our won recent experiment are argued, in which we have had subjects learn to associate the orthographic patterns of words with their meanings during an experiment, and investigated the practice-related changes of the brain activation. The task adopted was learning to read Roman numerals as ideograms. When the activation was actually measured by functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(fMRI)before and after the learning, a significant increase in the activation level was found only in the single region of the mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the Brodmann Area(BA)9. This specific region is considered to essentially participate for semantic processing of novel words possibly as a central executive of verbal working memory system.
