| Research Abstract |
To clarify the effect of emotional context on language processing, we performed neuroimaging experiment. The results showed that the bilateral frontal cortices play important roles in language comprehension using emotional context : the emotional context is stored in the right frontal cortex and the context is integrated with linguistic information in the left frontal cortex.
