Research on cross-linguistic comparisons of the neural correlates of reading has
consistently found that the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG) is more involved in Chinese than …

We examined the implication of training modality on the cortical representation of Chinese
words in adult second language learners of Chinese. In particular, we tested the implication …

Differences in how writing systems represent language raise important questions about
whether there could be a universal functional architecture for reading across languages. In …

Understanding Chinese reading is important for identifying the universal aspects of reading,
separated from those aspects that are specific to alphabetic writing or to English in …

We examined the hypothesis that learning to write Chinese characters influences the brain's
reading network for characters. Students from a college Chinese class learned 30 …

Numerous studies have investigated the neural correlates of reading in two languages.
However, reliable conclusions have not been established as to the relationship of the neural …

Word reading in alphabetic language involves a cortical system with multiple components
whose division of labor depends on the transparency of the writing system. To gain insight …

In this fMRI study, we examined the cerebral processing associated with second language
(L2) reading in different writing systems in late L2 learners. To examine the impacts of cross …

A fundamental issue in the study of reading is to understand the processes involved in
determining word meaning from print. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging …

It has been evidenced that both similarities and differences exist in the brain network
involved in second language reading in comparison to the first language reading. However …
