研究人员发现大脑中控制行为的区域
研究人员发现大脑中的Broca区域，业已知道该区域参与控制语言，是大脑中控制不同层次行为的关键执行中枢。例如计划能力被认为是人类智能特征之一。
研究人员发现Broca区域，位于大脑颞部左侧，当个体被要求组织行动计划的时候，其相对应的右侧就会被触发。研究人员报道说，对Broca区域总体执行功能的研究结果，能够解释该区域在语言处理方面中的重要作用。尤为明显的是，研究人员发现这些皮层的执行功能不同于颞部对动作的组织控制。
Area Discovered Where the Brain Organizes Actions
Researchers have discovered that Broca’s region in the brain, mostly known as the region that evolved to manage speech, is a key executive center in the brain for organizing hierarchies of behaviors. Such planning ability is considered one of the characteristics of human intelligence.
The researchers found that the Broca’s area, which is situated on the left side of the brain in the temple region, and its counterpart on the right side is triggered when individuals are asked to organize plans of action. They reported that their finding of the general executive function of the Broca’s region could explain its vital role in language processing. Significantly, the investigators discovered that this executive function of these cortical regions was different from the organization of temporal sequences of actions.
