Developmental differences for word processing in the ventral stream

OA Olulade, DL Flowers, EM Napoliello, GF Eden - Brain and language, 2013 - Elsevier
The visual word form system (VWFS), located in the occipito-temporal cortex, is involved in

Electrophysiological correlates of impaired reading in dyslexic pre-adolescent children

S Araújo, I Bramão, L Faísca, KM Petersson, A Reis - Brain and cognition, 2012 - Elsevier

[HTML][HTML] Simultaneous EEG and fMRI reveals stronger sensitivity to orthographic strings in the left occipito-temporal cortex of typical versus poor beginning readers

G Pleisch, II Karipidis, A Brem, M Röthlisberger… - Developmental cognitive …, 2019 - Elsevier

The left occipitotemporal cortex does not show preferential activity for words

AC Vogel, SE Petersen, BL Schlaggar - Cerebral Cortex, 2012 - academic.oup.com
Regions in left occipitotemporal (OT) cortex, including the putative visual word form area, are

An examination of the rapid automatized naming–reading relationship using functional magnetic resonance imaging

J Cummine, B Chouinard, E Szepesvari, GK Georgiou - Neuroscience, 2015 - Elsevier
