Chinese Characters Processing of Healthy Subjects:A Functional Magnetic Resonnce Imaging Study / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective To investigate the Chinese characters processing in healthy subjects with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Methods 10 healthy subjects were asked to finish the dual-task paradigm Keying/Reading and single-task paradign Keying or Read-ing. The active area and partial lateralization index in brains of them were investigated with fMRI with block design. Results and Conclu-sion The tasks activated the right inferior frontal gyrus, bilateral parietal and cerebellar cortex. The laterality index showed that the left brains were more active in the tasks.
