Abstract

Purpose : To compare fMRIs of visual and auditory word generation tasks, and to evaluate the difference of its activated areas and lateralization according to the mode of stimuli. Materials and Methods : Eight male normal volunteers were included and all were right handed. Functional maps were obtained during auditory and visual word generation tasks in all. Normalized group analysis were performed in each task and the threshold for significance was set at p<0.05. Activated areas in each task were compared visually and statistically. Results : In both tasks, left dominant activations were demonstrated and were more lateralized in visual task. Both frontal lobes (Broca's area, premotor area, and SMA) and left posterior middle temporal gyrus were activated in both tasks. Extensive bilateral temporal activations were noted in auditory task. Both occipital and parietal activations were demonstrated in visual task. Conclusion : Modality independent areas could be interpreted as a core area of language function. Modality specific areas may be associated with processing of stimuli. Visual task induced more lateralized activation and could be a more useful in language study than auditory task.

목적 : 시각과 청각을 통한 단어생성과제를 이용하여 언어의 기능적 자기공명영상을 얻고, 자극을 제시한 방법에 따라 활성화되는 뇌영역이나 편재화 차이가 있는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 정상성인 남자 8명을 대상으로 하였고 모두 오른손잡이였다. 단어생성과제를 사용하여 언어기능의 활성화를 유도 하였고, 시각과제와 청각과제를 시행하였다. 과제별로 합산된 평균 활성화지도를 얻었고 신호의 유의수준은 p < 0.05로 하였다. 각 과제별로 나타난 활성화 영역을 시각적, 통계학적 방법으로 비교 분석 하였다. 결과 : 시각과제와 청각과제 모두에서 좌측이 우세한 활성화 신호가 나타났으며, 시각과제에서 편재화가 약간 우세하였다. 전두엽(Broca영역, 전운동영역, 보조운동영역)과 좌측 후중측두엽은 두 과제에서 공통적으로 활성화가 나타났다. 청각과제에서는 광범위한 양측 측두엽의 활성화가 있었으며, 시각과제에서는 양측 후두엽과 두정엽의 활성화가 나타났다. 결론 : 자극과 관계없이 공통적으로 활성화된 영역은 언어의 핵심 영역으로, 자극과제별로 다르게 나타난 부분은 자극의 인지와 처리과정에 따른 활성화로 생각된다. 시각과제는 청각과제에 비해 편재화된 활성화를 얻을 수 있었으며 언어의 기능영상에 있어 유용한 방법으로 생각한다.
