The findings revealed that the left FG presents a posterior-to-anterior gradient functional processing for Chinese character recognition, which expands the understanding of the psychological, neural, and computational theories of word reading.

Pure alexia is a dysfunction with simple symptoms and specific impaired regions, which happens at early stage of reading called visual word form processing, and involves visual word form area (VWFA).…

fMRI evidence for the interaction between orthography and phonology in reading Chinese compound words
- Psychology, LinguisticsFront. Hum. Neurosci.
- 2013
It is demonstrated that phonological activation alone is not sufficient to drive access to lexical representations of compound words, and that orthographic information interacts with phonology, playing a gating role in the recognition of Chinese compound words.

Neural Correlates of Chinese and Japanese Semantic Processing: A Meta-analysis
- Psychology
- 2015
The current meta-analysis conducted direct contrasts between foci reported in published Chinese and Japanese fMRI studies to seek convergent activation across studies and found that Chinese evoked increased right hemispheric activation than Japanese, suggesting that semantic radicals might be more beneficial to Chinese than Japanese comprehension.

It is suggested that the left middle frontal area (BA 9) coordinates and integrates the intensive visuospatial analysis demanded by logographs' square configuration and the semantic (or phonological) analysis required by the present experimental tasks.

The results indicated that reading Chinese is characterized by extensive activity of the neural systems, with strong left lateralization of frontal (BAs 9 and 47) and temporal (BA 37) cortices and rightateralization of visual systems(BAs 17–19), parietal lobe, and cerebellum.

Overall, there are no differences in terms of hemispheric specialization between alphabetic and nonalphabetic scripts, however, differences in language surface form appear to determine relative activation in other regions.
