Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In speech or sentence comprehension, a grammatical subject is considered to correspond with the referent, which initially captures attention in a visual scene. In the present study, the visual attention of a participant was guided to a particular referent in a visual scene, and a sentence whose subject was different from the referent was subsequently presented. This allowed investigation of the brain regions involved in the shift of grammatical subject. Two experiments using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) showed activation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) under conditions requiring a shift of grammatical subject. This indicates involvement of the right DLPFC in this type of process.
