Reading evidently (based on brain imagery) takes place in different parts of the brain based on culture and writing<\/a> — which implies that dyslexia and other reading disorders don’t function the same way, either.<\/p>\n

Neurologists described the results as “very important and innovative.” While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem plays out differently according to the unique demands that Western and Eastern languages place on the brain’s wiring and processing centers.
\n[…] Earlier brain scans show that English-reading dyslexics misfire in the left temporal-parietal region of the brain associated with awareness of phonemes, 44 sounds from the English alphabet. It is located in the middle and upper portions of the brain’s left lobe. Similar results were found with French and Italian dyslexics.
\n“We assumed that all dyslexics probably were the same,” Eden said. “But reading Chinese requires a different set of skills.”
\nAnd, according to the new study, it uses some different parts of the brain called the left middle frontal gyrus, or LMFG.<\/p>\n

Interesting, once you’ve learned to read in your language, you continue to use the same brain areas to learn to read in other languages, too.<\/p>\n
