| Research Abstract |
We investigate the mechanism into the frontal agrapia and its theraputical approach. It has been known that the frontal agraphia, writing disturbance featured by errors of kana script, was caused after the damage of the left middle frontal gyrus. Now we show that the damage of the same region also causes reading errors of kana. We propose that good practice of writing kana for the patients with frontal agraphia may includes the practice of reading kana.
