A dual-route perspective on brain activation in response to visual words: evidence for a length by lexicality interaction in the visual word form area (VWFA)
Based on our previous work, we expected the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) in the left
ventral visual pathway to be engaged by both whole-word recognition and by serial …

A common left occipito-temporal dysfunction in developmental dyslexia and acquired letter-by-letter reading?
Background We used fMRI to examine functional brain abnormalities of German-speaking
dyslexics who suffer from slow effortful reading but not from a reading accuracy problem …

[HTML][HTML] Beyond the Visual Word Form Area–a cognitive characterization of the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex
The left ventral occipitotemporal cortex has been traditionally viewed as a pathway for visual

The neurobiological basis of seeing words
BA Wandell - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
This review summarizes recent ideas about the cortical circuits for seeing words, an
important part of the brain system for reading. Historically, the link between the visual cortex …

Development of the visual word form area requires visual experience: Evidence from blind braille readers
Learning to read causes the development of a letter-and word-selective region known as the
visual word form area (VWFA) within the human ventral visual object stream. Why does a …

Role of the superior parietal lobules in letter-identity processing within strings: FMRI evidence from skilled and dyslexicreaders
Traditionally, the ventral occipito-temporal (vOT) area, but not the superior parietal lobules
(SPLs), is thought as belonging to the neural system of visual word recognition. However …

Uncovering phonological and orthographic selectivity across the reading network using fMRI-RA
Reading has been shown to rely on a dorsal brain circuit involving the temporoparietal
cortex (TPC) for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion of novel words (Pugh et al., 2001), and a …
