Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The aim of this study was to clarify the neural mechanism of information retrieval (IR) related to human sentence comprehension using fMRI. Two sets of letters, words, or sentences were presented visually. In a letter or word condition, letters or a word were presented after the presentation of two sets of stimuli, and subjects were asked to judge whether presented letters or word were included in former or latter set. In a sentences condition, participants were asked to read ill-formed coordination sentences and asked to judge which conjunct included inappropriate constituent. The results showed that significant activation in the left middle temporal gyrus was observed only during the sentence condition. Therefore, keeping linguistic information of sentence comprehension in mind is involved in the different neural area from that of letters and words.
