We report a positron emission tomography study on reading of Japanese Kanji (morphograms) words, Kana (phonograms) words and Kana nonwords using statistical parametric mapping. Activity was more pronounced in the lateral fusiform gyrus (Area 37) in Kanji, in contrast to the greater activation in the middle and inferior occipital gyri (Areas 18 and 19) and the deep perisylvian temporo-parietal area (Areas 40/22 and 22/21) in Kana, suggesting that Kanji and Kana are processed differently.
我们报告了一项使用统计参数映射对日语汉字（表意文字）单词、假名（表音文字）单词和假名单词阅读进行的正电子发射断层扫描研究。与假名阅读时枕中回和枕下回（18区和19区）以及深部颞叶周围颞顶叶区域（40/22区和22/21区）的更大激活相比，汉字阅读时外侧梭状回（37区）的活动更为明显，这表明汉字和假名的处理方式不同。
