Reading


The amazing efficiency of our reading process only serves to thicken the mystery surrounding its origins. How can our brain be so well adapted to a problem for which it could not possibly have evolved? How can the brain architecture of a strange bipedal primate turned hunter-gatherer have adjusted so perfectly, and in only a few thousand years, to to the challenges of visual word recognition? To clarify this problem, we will now turn to the cerebral circuits for reading. An amazing recent discovery shows that there is a specific cortical area for written words, much like the primary auditory area or the motor cortex that exist in all our brains. Even more surprisingly perhaps, this reading area seems to be identical in readers of English, Japanese, and Italian. Does this mean that there are universal brain mechanisms for reading?
