A new set of brain images ishcrcTO why: Reading English- style alphabets and Chinese characters use very different parts of the brain. . The results also suggest that Chinese schoolchildren with reading problems misfire in a different brain region than the one used in reading alphabet-base- d languages like English. This demonstrates that the learning disorder dyslexia is not the same in every culture and does not have a universal biological cause, researchers said. Neurologists described the results as "very important and innovative." While dyslexia has certain common roots, they said they now have some proof that this kind of functional problem plays out differently according to the unique demands that ' Western and Eastern languages place on the brain's wiring and processing centers. And, suggests that treating dyslexia around the world probably will require different therapies between nations and languages as well, they said.

She has conducted brain scans on American dyslexic children, but she did not participate in the study on Chinese students.' , "Reading is complex," Eden said "This shews we need to be about dimoreopen-mmde- d verse treatment approaches."
