摘要:Contrary to the conventional wisdom,recent research indicates that experience can quickly change both the human adult brain’s physical structure and functional organization. In this talk I will first summarize structural and functional MRI evidence from the study of the neurodevelopment of written Chinese and English which shows how brain networks change in response to language. I will then report on our experiments attempting to discover brain activity patterns during language-related tasks. We found that distinct cortical regions support the Chinese and the English language. These findings have been translated into clinical practices in guiding pre-surgical planning of the patients with brain disorders.
