| 6 | Visual processing of word and image in the fusiform gyrus显示文摘BACKGROUND: The role of the left midfusiform gyrus as a target for visual word processing has been a topic of discussion.Numerous studies have utilized alphabetic writing for subject matter.However,few have addressed visual processing of Chinese characters in the left midfusiform gyrus.OBJECTIVE: To verify visual processing of Chinese characters and images in the left midfusiform gyrus using functional magnetic resonance imaging.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: A blocked design paradigm study.Experiments were performed at the Room of Magnetic Resonance,Guangdong Provincial Second People's Hospital,China from May to June 2009.PARTICIPANTS: A total of eight undergraduate students were recruited from Guangzhou University of China,comprising two females and six males,aged 20-23 years.The subjects were right-handed,which was determined by a Chinese standard questionnaire.None of the subjects had a history of psychoneurosis,familial disease,color blindness,or color weakness.METHODS: A total of eight undergraduates were enrolled as subjects.Picture-naming and verb generation tasks were employed through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging.Analysis of Functional NeuroImages software was used to process the data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Visual processing of Chinese characters and images in the left midfusiform gyrus was measured.RESULTS: Picture-naming and verb generation tasks were shown to significantly activate the bilateral midfusiform gyrus.Activation occurred in the visual word form area of the left midfusiform gyrus.CONCLUSION: The left midfusiform gyrus plays a general role in visual processing of Chinese characters and images. | Guihua Jiang Junzhang Tian Yingwei Qiu Hongchang Zhai Jing Ren Xudong Xu Chulan Lin Lianbao Liang | 2010 | Neural Regeneration Research2010，5，5： | 0 |
