The investigation into how the brain works has been very productive over the decades, so we know a lot about what areas of the brain that regulate different aspects of movement, sensation and mental activity. A study was published this month had focused on dyslexia in English speaking children as compared with Chinese-speaking children.
What is dyslexia?
This is a disorder that affects reading skills. There are many theories about what causes and can be inherited or acquired, ie, caused by brain injury.
• Most English-speaking dyslexics have a problem with the processing series of sounds within words
• A minority of dyslexics have a problem visually impaired to recognize the onset of words and their sequence correct
Such as languages, English and Chinese are very different. English is based on an alphabet of letters with sounds. China is based on pictograms (also called pictograms). This means that different parts of the brain are used to read the two methods of writing.
What is a pictogram?
It is both a symbol and a drawing. It represents a concept, an object, place, event or activity by means of a sketch or drawing. Western countries used as public signs. A common example is the circle with a slash and a drawing in the center. If the drawing is of flames, it means the fire is prohibited in the signal was sent. Another common example is triangular signs with silhouettes on the inside to the ones running along the roads. A silhouette of a deer or kangaroo tells him carefully with them on the road.
The Chinese have used pictograms, known as characters, as early as 1500 BC and probably before. Have become the modern styles of Chinese calligraphy. His speech also has evolved, much as has English pronunciation, with the time and geographical areas. But, as with English, people in distant geographical areas of China can still communicate clearly in writing.
An educated person knows about 4,000 Chinese characters. In contrast, an educated American knows 26 letters and numbers not quantified the words from them - not quantified because anyone who speaks English can make a new word is generally understood. The Americans really like to do that, for example, feasible, google and photoshop used as verbs, remoteing in the sense of working from home on your team, laser (which was originally an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), and thousands of others.
Different neurological deficits
The study just release date was conducted by researchers at the University of Hong Kong, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Beijing Institute of Technology. It was found in China and English-speaking dyslexics appear to have two different brain disorders. If you are dyslexic and speak English, which often have an abnormality in the back of the brain that is associated with reading, and less gray matter there. If you speak Chinese and are dyslexic, the abnormality is on the left side of the area front center of the brain.
The brain scans were performed in 32 children in Beijing, 16 of whom were dyslexic.
• Researchers first established part of the brain was used for reading by having children identify differences in the size of the source of Chinese characters.
• It then showed children pairs of characters and asked if they rhymed. That was a test of the strong consciousness of the child, considered an indicator reliable reading ability.
With this second question, the 16 dyslexic children had less brain activity in the left brain area middle frontal, and less gray matter as well. They had no abnormalities in the back of the brain where an English-speaking dyslexics have.
Most of dyslexics have a hereditary condition that is detected in school. But a brain injury can cause dyslexia, and a person of any age. Much Re-learning is then necessary to restore reading ability. If you have suffered a brain injury and have dyslexia or have a loved one in this situation, no doubt, a great deal of time and money spent on retraining and support. You would do well to consult a lawyer brain injury If you want to learn more about your legal options and if possible to have a valid legal claim.
