[HTML][HTML] Neural network for Braille reading and the speech-reading convergence in the blind: Similarities and differences to visual reading
All writing systems represent units of spoken language. Studies on the neural correlates of
reading in different languages show that this skill relies on access to brain areas dedicated …

Short-term language experience shapes the plasticity of the visual word form area
Previous studies have identified a region in the left fusiform gyrus that responds selectively
to visual words, termed the visual word form area (VWFA). Converging evidence from …

A cultural effect on brain function
We present behavioral and anatomical evidence for a multi-component reading system in
which different components are differentially weighted depending on culture-specific …

Functional and anatomical dissociation between the orthographic lexicon and the orthographic buffer revealed in reading and writing Chinese characters by fMRI
The contribution of orthographic representations to reading and writing has been intensively
investigated in the literature. However, the distinction between neuronal correlates of the …

Evaluating cognitive models of visual word recognition using fMRI: Effects of lexical and sublexical variables
A Protopapas, E Orfanidou, JSH Taylor, E Karavasilis… - NeuroImage, 2016 - Elsevier
In this study predictions of the dual-route cascaded (DRC) model of word reading were

Word frequency effects in the left IFG in dyslexic and normally reading children during picture naming and reading
M Grande, E Meffert, W Huber, K Amunts, S Heim - Neuroimage, 2011 - Elsevier
Word frequency effects have been reported in numerous neuroimaging studies with typically
reading adults, emphasising the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG). Within LIFG …

A ventral visual stream reading center independent of visual experience
The visual word form area (VWFA) is a ventral stream visual area that develops expertise for
visual reading [1–3]. It is activated across writing systems and scripts [4, 5] and encodes …

[HTML][HTML] Bilingualism yields language-specific plasticity in left hemisphere's circuitry for learning to read in young children
KK Jasińska, MS Berens, I Kovelman, LA Petitto - Neuropsychologia, 2017 - Elsevier
How does bilingual exposure impact children's neural circuitry for learning to read? Theories
of bilingualism suggests that exposure to two languages may yield a functional and …

Hierarchical coding of letter strings in the ventral stream: dissecting the inner organization of the visual word-form system
Visual word recognition has been proposed to rely on a hierarchy of increasingly complex
neuronal detectors, from individual letters to bigrams and morphemes. We used fMRI to test …
