Nowadays, neuroscientic techniques that probe the relationship between brain regions and reading behavior are applied to examine the neural mechanisms in children with or without dyslexia. The advent of functional neuroimaging tools has enabled cognitive scientists and psychologists to investigate multiple facets of the biological factors and cognitive processes of reading. Many neuroscientists have become increasingly interested in the reading neural network involved in logographic (e.g., Chinese) and alphabetic writing system (e.g., English), regardless of whether the language is universal or specific. The nature of the languate is quite different; for instance, the orthography, phonology, and semantics involved in Chinese are not similar to those involved in English. In brief, the cross-language issue needs to be addressed in order for us to understand whether the neural mechanisms in Chinese dyslexia are different from those in dyslexia with alphabetic language backgrounds. Reviewing the neuroimaging studies can help us understand the brain regions in which Chinese reading is operated, and the nature of dyslexic brains. In addition, we conclude with a discussion on the clinical implications for education in Chinese reading and future research directions.<\/p>\n
