The left ventral occipitotemporal cortex is reliably activated by visual orthographic
stimulation and has repeatedly been found underactivated in developmental dyslexia …

A consistent finding in functional brain imaging studies of reading with dyslexia is reduced
inferior occipito-temporal activation linked to deviant processing of visual word forms. Time …

Left N170 print tuning has been associated with visual expertise for print and has been
reported to be impaired in dyslexics, using age matched designs. This is the first time N170 …

Converging evidence from neuroimaging studies of developmental dyslexia reveals
dysfunction at posterior brain regions centered in and around the angular gyrus in the left …

Fast effortless reading has been associated with the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA), a
region in the ventral visual stream that specializes in the recognition of letter strings. Several …

Purpose: For the past 2 decades, neuroimaging studies in dyslexia have pointed toward a
hypoactivation of the ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC), a region that has been closely …

Developmental dyslexia has been associated with a dysfunction of a brain region in the left
inferior occipitotemporal cortex, called the “visual word-form area”(VWFA). In adult normal …

Skilled reading requires specialized visual cortical processing of orthographic information
and its impairment has been proposed as a potential correlate of compromised reading in …

Abstract fMRI studies using a region-of-interest approach have revealed that the ventral
portion of the left occipito-temporal cortex, which is specialized for orthographic processing …

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOT) is a region
crucial for reading acquisition through selective tuning to printed words. Developmental …
