Pure alexia in Japanese and agraphia without alexi...[Arch Neurol. 1988] - PubMed Result
A 60-year-old right-handed Japanese man with infarction of the left occipital lobe and inferior temporal gyrus initially showed pure Alexia in kana and kanji. Later, though pure Alexia in kana persisted, his kanji reading improved markedly, but with little improvement of kanji writing. We speculate that different pathways are involved in kanji reading and writing. Wernicke's area and its surrounding left middle temporal lobe might play the most important role for kanji reading when visual information is transmitted by any pathway. The pathway from Wernicke's area to the left occipital lobe via the middle and inferior temporal pathway may be indispensable for kanji writing. We postulate "agraphia without Alexia in kanji" due to left inferior temporal subcortical damage.
Visual Arts Program - Alexia Markarian Exhibit | San Diego Public Library
The Visual Arts Program of the San Diego Public Library is proud to host first solo exhibition in several years by noted area artist Alexia Markarian. The exhibition will be on display in the gallery of the Pacific Beach/ Taylor Branch Library, and runs from May 27 through July 13, 2008.

The case of the right-handed young Japanese woman with Alexia with agraphia of kanji (the Japanese morphograms) due to a small circumscribed haematoma in the left posterior inferior temporal gyrus is described. Her chief complaint was the inability to read and write kanji. Detailed examination showed that her Alexia with agraphia was much more predominant for kanji than kana (the Japanese syllabograms). These facts suggest that the processing of kanji and kana involves different intrahemispheric mechanisms.

Jakus told the trial court that Lopez s position was that it was actually his son who had had a sexual relationship with Alexia, and that Lopez might conduct additional testing to see if the child was Lopez s son s child.
Homing In on Human Language: More Than Semantics . . . [NIDCD News and Events]
Acquiring language, by assigning meaning to and manipulating symbols, may be the most human of capabilities. When that process is impaired, it can be the most devastating of disabilities. Strokes that cause Alexia, the loss or impairment of the ability to read, or aphasia, the loss or impairment of the ability to express or comprehend language by speech or sign, are examples of debilitating impairment. Early on, scientists made discoveries about dominant areas of the brain for particular activities, but recently, investigation has yielded identification of internal neural networks that permit communication between regions in different parts of the brain during language activities. These new discoveries of normal processes should illuminate potential approaches to language repair and recovery.

and spelling in both cognitive and neuroanatomical terms. To achieve our objectives, we propose to conduct a detailed evaluation of written and spoken language function in a large group of individuals with left-hemisphere cortical stroke or semantic dementia and correlate behavioral performance with precise neuroanatomical information about lesion location. Specifically, we plan to document both associations and dissociations between the Alexia and agraphia profiles of study participants and elucidate the critical cognitive and lesion variables responsible for the different patterns identified. These observations will provide the empirical database for testing the main prediction of shared-component models of written language processing, according to which damage to orthographic, phonological, and semantic representations should have similar consequences for

Therapy for Reading Problems in Adults After Brain Injury - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
Each therapy is based upon a cognitive neuropsychological model of reading; the therapies target specific types of reading deficit and stem from the question of re-learning versus re-organization of function. The therapies focus on dyslexic disorders stemming from the following underlying deficits: 1) impaired access to the orthographic word form from the visual modality (pure Alexia); 2) impaired orthographic/ phonologic connections (phonologic/ deep dyslexia); and 3) decreased ability to hold phonologic codes in memory (phonologic text Alexia).
Auditory Repetition Priming Is Impaired in Pure Alexic Patients
Alexia without agraphia, or ''pure'' Alexia, is an acquired impairment in reading that leaves writing skills intact. Repetition priming for visually presented words is diminished in pure Alexia. However, it is not possible to verify whether this priming deficit is modality-specific or modality independent because reading abilities are compromised. Hence, auditory repetition priming was assessed with lexical decision and word stem completion tasks in pure alexic patients with lesions in left inferior temporal-occipital cortex and the splenium. Perceptually based, modality-specific priming models predict intact auditory priming, since auditory association cortex is spared in the patients. Alternatively, modality-independent models, which suggest that priming reflects the temporary modification of an amodal system, might predict impairments. Baseline performance was matched in the patients and controls, although lexical decision priming measures showed an interaction between group and repetition lag. The patients showed intact immediate priming but significantly less priming than controls at longer delays. Furthermore, word stem completion priming was abolished in the patients. One explanation for the deficit is that left inferior temporal-occipital cortex supports amodal aspects of priming, as suggested by recent neuroimaging results. Another possibility is that long-term auditory priming relies on covert orthographic representations which were unavailable in the patients. The results provide support for interactive models of word identification.

Case Examples
Last week, Alexia entered the inpatient treatment program where you are a social worker. She is being treated for alcohol and cocaine (crack) dependence. Alexia is a 32-year-old, divorced woman who is employed as an administrative assistant at a local human services program. She lives with her 11-year-old daughter, Christine, in an apartment located near her job. Although she makes a relatively low salary, Alexia has managed to support herself and her daughter without financial support from Christine's father. Alexia was married briefly to Christine's father when she was 20, but she left him after he became physically and sexually abusive toward her. He also was an alcoholic. She had almost no contact with him for many years. Her mother, a widow, is a strong support for Alexia and Christine, as are two cousins, Denise and Moira. Alexia reports growing up in a "normal middle class family" and states that her childhood was "good" despite her father's occasional drinking binges, which she says were related to him celebrating a special account he had landed (he was in advertising), and her mother's "occasional bad depressions." She is the youngest of five children and the only girl.
