A functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment at 3 tesla was performed to investigate
the collaborative mechanism between visuospatial processing and motor execution in …

Dissociation between copying letters and writing to dictation has been reported in the
clinical neuropsychological literature. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was …

The role of finger writing movements in recognizing Japanese ideographic characters
(Kanji) was investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T. A total of 12 …

The first cognitive step in written-language processing is to identify black squiggles on a
white background as different letters of the alphabet. Indeed, fast and accurate visual …

To examine the neuropsychological mechanisms involved in writing kanji (morphograms),
we used functional MRI (fMRI) in 10 normal volunteers, all right-handed, native Japanese …

FUNCTIONAL magnetic resonance imaging was successfully used to study the activation of
the motor cortices during retrieval of Japanese ideogram, kanji. The subjects performed …

We examined the hypothesis that learning to write Chinese characters influences the brain's
reading network for characters. Students from a college Chinese class learned 30 …

Fast and accurate visual recognition of single characters is crucial for efficient reading. We
explored the possible contribution of writing memory to character recognition processes. We …

In an age of increasing technology, the possibility that typing on a keyboard will replace
handwriting raises questions about the future usefulness of handwriting skills. Here we …

Introduction Handwriting is a modality of language production whose cerebral substrates
remain poorly known although the existence of specific regions is postulated. The …
