| Popis: | Positron emission tomography (PET) was used to localize the brain regions involved in the processing of pauses and intonation changes, which underlie the syntactically correct perception of auditory verbal stimuli. Subjects were asked to listen to a phrase and to choose a correct answer from two variants presented on a monitor screen. Differences in cerebral blood circulation were mapped for perception of phrases containing or lacking a pause determining the meaning. Conscious analysis of the phrase structure was associated with activation of the right lower prefrontal area and the right posterior medial area of the cerebellum. The possible role of these brain structures in analyzing factors of syntagmatic splitting is discussed. |
