Abstract
This present study was carried out to investigate the functional role of midfusiform gyrus known as “VWFA (visual word form area)” in visual word processing. In experiment 1, we conducted an fMRI for two dyslexic patients. The results showed that letter-by-letter reading (in fact, syllable-by-syllable reading in Korean) patient has more activation of right fusiform gyrus than global alexic patient in word reading. In experiment 2, volunteers performed word and nonword reading during fMRI scanning. The results showed that the activation area of the left fusiform gyrus was modulated by lexicality and word frequency, whereas the activation of the right fusiform gyrus varied by the word difficulty and nonword reading.
