To explore the different brain areas activated by Chinese, English, and Nepali word tasks in Nepalese by using the functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI).
To determine the neuroanatomic functional brain areas responsible for Chinese, English and Nepali reading as well as sentence-formation, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) block design by fMRI was performed in 6 healthy Nepalese volunteers.
During Chinese reading, the activated areas included bilateral motor area, subfrontal gyri, superior temporal gyri, and superior parietal lobule; during English reading, the activated areas were left motor area, left subfrontal gyrus, left supra temporal gyrus, left insula and bilateral cerebellum; and the Nepali task demonstrated the activation of left anterior central gyrus, superior frontal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus. Aside from the bilateral occipital lobes, both English and Nepali activated areas were the left cerebral hemisphere dominant.
The more familiar with the language, the fewer areas are activated. Superior temporal gyrus might be involved in sentence-formation.
运用功能磁共振成像（fMRI）探究尼泊尔人在进行中文、英文和尼泊尔语单词任务时激活的不同脑区。
为确定负责中文、英文和尼泊尔语阅读以及句子形成的神经解剖学功能脑区，对6名健康的尼泊尔志愿者进行了fMRI的血氧水平依赖（BOLD）组块设计。
中文阅读时，激活区域包括双侧运动区、额下回、颞上回和顶上小叶；英文阅读时，激活区域为左侧运动区、左侧额下回、左侧颞上回、左侧脑岛和双侧小脑；尼泊尔语任务显示左侧中央前回、额上回、颞上回激活。除双侧枕叶外，英文和尼泊尔语的激活区域均以左侧大脑半球为主。
对语言越熟悉，激活的脑区越少。颞上回可能参与句子形成。
