| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated how language function is developed, and evolved with the grade of maturation using magnetoencephalography (MEG) for 6 years. Language function of monkeys originated developed in right hemisphere, and changed to the left hemisphere until 3 years old in previous animal study. Our results have demonstrated initial language function occurred in the both hemisphere and evolved to the left hemisphere within 6 years.
Especially, our results suggested that the evidence of MEG language study would show the milestones of progress of language function in patients with acute encephalitis or brain damage that caused deficit of brain function in the middle of their lives. We will keep on studying about the change of objective children using MEG in order to demonstrate the development of human brain function.
