Abstract:
Understanding the basic mechanism of reading is the foundation for studying the pathogenesis of alexia and its rehabilitation care. Functional magnetic resonance imaging is one of imaging methods that can display the neurological activities in brain in vivo. It has been used in the studies of linguistics in recent years, particularly in the mechanisms of reading and processing. The article reviews the lateralization of Chinese single word processing and whether or not the specific brain region for cognitive processing of Chinese characters exists.
