Abstract(in English) In this report, the author reviewed a brief history of neuropsychology, and its contribution of neuroimaging study. In the contents of this review, the author focused on the role of the left angular gyrus on reading letters aloud. In general, the alexia is emerged by the damage of the left angular gyrus. On the other hand, no activation was observed at the angular gyrus in the neuroimaging study in the meaning of the statistically significant level. In order to solve this dissociation between neuropsychological evidence and neuroimaging data, the author proposed the 3 layered neural network model in which the hidden layer was the kWTA circuit [6]. This model could explain both neuropsychological evidence and neuroimaging data without contradiction. Neurocomputing would play an important role as a tool for an abstract and an interdisciplinary modeling of the brain.
