About the Book

Examining the mechanisms that allow language to be controlled by the brain, this book brings a medical approach to elucidate what language this is by exploring positron emission tomography (PET), magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Using PET and MRI, the medical community have obtained a number of findings related to the central mechanisms in language, not only from patients, but also from normal individuals.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Overview of language: language of anthropoid; language of human beings - origin of language, development of language, disorder of speech; language and the brain. Part 2 Anatomy of the brain and functional brain imaging: anatomy of the brain - frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, standard brain map; functional brain imaging - positron emission tomography, magnetencephalography, functional magnetic resonance imaging. Part 3 Language perception: brain level - from the viewpoint of aphasia, brain activities in language perception, development of cortical mechanism of speech perception, disorders of language development and plasticity of the brain, summary; cochlear and the auditory tract level - structure and function of the cochlea, coding of speech sounds in the cochlea, structure and function of the cochlear nuclei, role of the efferent tract, summary. Part 4 Language production: brain level - brain activities in reading written language, brain activities during speaking, temporal process of speech production in the brain, summary; in organs of vocalization and articulation - mechanisms of vocalization, mechanism of articulation. Part 5 Interaction between language production and recognition: brain activities in the language development period - interaction between production and recognition, role of the crebellum, brain activities in the process of language acquisition; brain activities after completion of language development; summary; Part 6 Language recognition from the viewpoint of cochlear implants: principles of cochlear implant; perception of speech sounds with cochlear implants - in the auditory areas, comparison between cochlear implant users and normal individuals, differences in brain activities according to the strategy; cochlear implants in children; summary. Part 7 Summary and prospects of biological lingusitics: role of Wernicke's area in speech perception; activities of the auditory area during language production; relations of language with the cerebellum and supplemenary motor area; cortical activities of cochlear implant users; interactions among different functional areas in the brain; prospects for the future.
