In 1892, the French neurologist Jules Déjerine suggested that pure alexia resulted from an occipital lesion that selectively disconnected visual input from a region of the brain that housed "optical images of words." In this issue of Neuron, Gaillard and colleagues offer evidence consistent with Déjerine's proposal and provide new insights to the functional role of the "visual word form area."
1892年，法国神经学家朱尔斯·德热里纳提出，单纯性失读症是由枕叶病变引起的，这种病变选择性地切断了视觉输入与大脑中存储“单词视觉图像”区域的联系。在本期《神经元》杂志中，盖拉德及其同事提供了与德热里纳的提议相符的证据，并对“视觉词形区”的功能作用提供了新的见解。
