language, in addition to their connections. These changes enable reciprocal translation …

Reading acquisition is enabled by deep changes in the brain's visual system and language
areas, and in the links subtending their collaboration. Disruption of those plastic processes …

Reading is a multisensory function that relies on arbitrary associations between auditory
speech sounds and symbols from a second modality. Studies of bimodal phonetic …
