In expert readers, a brain region known as the visual word form area (VWFA) is highly
sensitive to written words, exhibiting a posterior-to-anterior gradient of increasing sensitivity …

There is a growing interest in imaging understudied orthographies to unravel their neuronal
correlates and their implications for existing computational and neuroanatomical models …

While the functional and microstructural changes that occur when we learn new language
skills are well documented, relatively little is known about the time course of these changes …

The brain networks for the first (L1) and second (L2) languages are dynamically formed in
the bilingual brain. This study delves into the neural mechanisms associated with …

Phonological awareness is the stepping‐stone to learning to read as it helps children map
language sounds onto letters. Theories of bilingualism posit that phonological awareness is …

With the increasing consensus that a single effect of bilingualism is unlikely, some scholars
shift their focus to elements that may exert an influence on the bilingual brain. One such …

Skilled reading is important in daily life. While the understanding of the neurofunctional
organization of this uniquely human skill has advanced significantly, it does not take into …

Several studies have analyzed the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on verbal
fluency tasks in non-clinical populations. Nevertheless, the reported effects on verbal fluency …

The functional organization of first (L1) and second (L2) language processing in bilinguals
remains a topic of great interest to the neurolinguistics community. Functional magnetic …

Episodic memory allows a person to recall and mentally reexperience specific episodes
from one's personal past. Studies of episodic memory are of great significance for the …
