弓状束(英文:Arcuate fasciculus),是连接大脑语言中枢布罗卡区”和“韦尼克区”的神经通路,在结构上是连接颞叶皮层尾部和额叶皮层下部的众多神经纤维[1][2]

结构

在结构上,弓状束属于大脑白质神经径英语Nerve tract,与上纵束英语Superior longitudinal fasciculus平行分布。由于二者邻近,有些研究人员也将弓状束、上纵束混称[3]

历史上,弓状束被认为连接语言中枢“布罗卡区”和“韦尼克区”:布罗卡区位于额下回,韦尼克区位于后颞上回。但如今大多数科学家认为这是个过度简化的模型[4]

功能

一些研究人员认为“句法”是人类语言的特质。尽管对于弓状束的具体功能仍有争论,主流理论认为它参与处理复杂的句法[2][5]。有研究显示,随着弓状束的成熟、髓鞘化,人对于句法的处理能力随之提升。此外,弓状束损伤会导致人产生句法处理障碍。

弓状束属于双侧型结构,意味着在两侧的大脑半球中均存在。但是两侧的弓状束不对称:左侧的一般要强于右侧。其中左侧的弓状束被认为参与了句法处理,而右侧的则被认为参与了韵律处理[6][7]。进一步研究显示右侧的弓状束可能与解读人脸表情中的情绪有关[8]

临床

弓状束受损可导致传导性失语症[9]。此外,口吃特定型语言障碍英语Specific language impairment失读症也可能与弓状束异常有关[10][11]
