讲座内容简介：
Reading is a capacity unique to humans. Lesion studies and neuro-imaging studies in the last years already provided a foundation for understanding the neural basis of reading, and demonstrated a neural network underlying this capacity. However, the vast majority of these studies have been conducted in typically developed adults and provided little insight into how such neural response to written language emerges and how it interacts and co-develops with other language and cognitive functions. We investigated the neural mechanism of word reading in two population - adults with atypical right hemispheric (RH) dominance for speech, and children in their first year of learning to read. By the first population, we attempted to clarify the influences of language processing in the frontal cortex on visual word recognition in the ventral occipito-temporal (vOT) regions; By tracking the acquisition of reading in young children, we examined the emergence of word-specific response in vOT region, especially when and how it develops. I will also briefly present some of our recent work on natural reading in adults and discuss how this could shed light on our knowledge of cognitive and neural mechanism of reading.
