Purpose This review summarizes what is known about the structural and functional brain
bases of dyslexia. Method We review the current literature on structural and functional brain …

Neurobiology helps us understand the processes that drive neurological processes
including dyslexia. This article outlines the neurobiology underpinning typical reading skills …

Theatrocracy is a book about the power of the theatre, how it can affect the people who
experience it, and the societies within which it is embedded. It takes as its model the earliest …

A functional region of left fusiform gyrus termed “the visual word form area”(VWFA) develops
during reading acquisition to respond more strongly to printed words than to other visual …

Learning to read alphabetic languages starts with learning letter–speech-sound
associations. How this process changes brain function during development is still largely …

An area near the left lateral occipito-temporal sulcus that responds preferentially to print has
been designated as the visual word form area (VWFA). Research suggests that …

The cognitive mechanism underpinning mirror priming effects for letters (eg, IDEA primed by
ibea) is still unclear: it could be about mirror invariance (perceptual equivalence of mirror …

There is an ongoing debate concerning the extent to which deficits in reading and spelling
share cognitive components and whether they rely, in a similar fashion, on sublexical and …

Discrimination of reversible mirrored letters (eg, d and b) poses a challenge when learning
to read as it requires overcoming mirror invariance, an evolutionary‐old perceptual tendency …

The present study examined the development of mirror writing in typically developing
children using a longitudinal design involving 166 children initially aged 4–5 years. The …
