To examine whether the human beings are endowed with a specific neural substrate for sentence processing separable from working memory system, we compared brain activities for sentence processing with those for a manipulation process of stored information in working memory. Twenty right-handed Japanese native speakers performed reordering tasks with both sentence processing and manipulation process conditions. Based on our main finding that there was no significant difference in brain activation between these two processes, we concluded that it is the working memory system itself that engages sentence processing in the human brain.
