Functional and structural neuroimaging studies of adult readers have provided a deeper
understanding of the neural basis of reading, yet such findings also elicit new questions …

In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of reading and reading
disability with the use of functional neuroimaging techniques. There is substantial …

Brain imaging offers a new technology for understanding the acquisition of reading by
children. It can contribute novel evidence concerning the key mechanisms supporting …

The scientific study of reading has a rich history that spans disciplines from vision science to
linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and education. The study of …

Literacy development is a process rather than a single event and thus should be studied at
multiple time points. A longitudinal design employing neuroimaging methods offers the …

Recent functional neuroimaging studies are generating novel insights into our knowledge of
skilled and disturbed reading. In neurologically normal subjects, a double dissociation in …

Research on how the brain implements reading has produced results of remarkable
consistency, especially on the functional anatomy of single word reading. We examine the …

Converging evidence from a number of neuroimaging studies, including our own, suggest
that fluent word identification in reading is related to the functional integrity of two left …

Understanding Chinese reading is important for identifying the universal aspects of reading,
separated from those aspects that are specific to alphabetic writing or to English in …

Extraordinary progress in functional brain imaging, primarily advances in functional
magnetic resonance imaging, now allows scientists to understand the neural systems …
