弓狀束（英文：Arcuate fasciculus），是連接大腦語言中樞「布羅卡區」和「韋尼克區」的神經通路，在結構上是連接顳葉皮層尾部和額葉皮層下部的眾多神經纖維^[1]^[2]。

結構

在結構上，弓狀束屬於大腦白質的神經徑（英語：Nerve tract），與上縱束（英語：Superior longitudinal fasciculus）平行分布。由於二者鄰近，有些研究人員也將弓狀束、上縱束混稱^[3]。

歷史上，弓狀束被認為連接語言中樞「布羅卡區」和「韋尼克區」：布羅卡區位於額下回，韋尼克區位於後顳上回。但如今大多數科學家認為這是個過度簡化的模型^[4]。

功能

一些研究人員認為「句法」是人類語言的特質。儘管對於弓狀束的具體功能仍有爭論，主流理論認為它參與處理複雜的句法^[2]^[5]。有研究顯示，隨着弓狀束的成熟、髓鞘化，人對於句法的處理能力隨之提升。此外，弓狀束損傷會導致人產生句法處理障礙。

弓狀束屬於雙側型結構，意味着在兩側的大腦半球中均存在。但是兩側的弓狀束不對稱：左側的一般要強於右側。其中左側的弓狀束被認為參與了句法處理，而右側的則被認為參與了韻律處理^[6]^[7]。進一步研究顯示右側的弓狀束可能與解讀人臉表情中的情緒有關^[8]。

臨床

弓狀束受損可導致傳導性失語症^[9]。此外，口吃、特定型語言障礙（英語：Specific language impairment）、失讀症也可能與弓狀束異常有關^[10]^[11]。
