Abstract：Objective To explore the brain mechanism of prosodic restoration processing with functional magnetic reso-nance imaging (fMRI) .Methods In the current study ,18 right-handed Chinese healthy volunteers (22~26 years) were performed to prosody tasks (sentence ,monotone sentence ,pitch-flattened sentence ,pitch-flattened monotone sentence) . fMRl was acquired when they received the task .fMRI data were processed and functional areas of brain were localized u-sing AFNI .Results fMRI demonstrated that the monotone sentense mainly activated bilateral superior temporal gyrus , right temporal lobe ,parahippocampal gyrus ,middle occipital gyrus ,medial frontal area and left premotor cortex .The tasks of pitch-flattened monotone sentence mainly activated middle occipital gyrus ,bilateral inferior temporal gyrus ,left superior occipital gyrus ,premotor cortex ,supplementary motor area and inferior frontal gyrus .Conclusion Bilateral mul-tiple cerebral regions involved in prosodic restoration processing .fMRI is useful for exploring the cerebral mechanism .
