Abstract(in English) | This study examined the cognitive disorders and the functional brain bases behind them in Japanese dyslexia through experiments using fNIRS with Japanese dyslexic and healthy adults. The analysis results of behavioral data suggested that dyslexia in Japanese possess phonological and visual attention span deficits, which are the same or similar as dyslexia in languages with alphabetical writing systems. In addition, the fNIRS data analysis results showed that a visual attention span deficit in Japanese dyslexia is related to decreased activation of the visual cortex, the left Broca’s area, the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and the somatic association area. It was also indicated that in the recognition of already known “hiragana” and “kanji” characters, Japanese dyslexia showed decreased activation in the dorsal stream of the left hemisphere, whereas in the recognition of new “symbols,” they showed decreased activation of the same stream in the right hemisphere. A phonological disorder in Japanese dyslexia turned out to be mainly related to the left temporo-parietal junction. |
