The grapheme (text) to phoneme (sound) conversion involves both fast and slow routes functioning parallel while reading meaningful words. Lexical decisions to pseudowords proceeds slowly and exhaustively than that to words. Neural processing while reading pseudowords involves successful mapping of orthographic forms that recruits inferior frontal gyrus (BA44 and 45), insula, thalamus and caudate nucleus. The current study not only documents the role of these areas but also provides evidence that the need for exhaustive search of mental lexicon during pseudoword reading does not affect the reaction time supersedes the slow.
