Anatomy and physiology of word-selective visual cortex: from visual features to lexical processing
Over the past 2 decades, researchers have tried to uncover how the human brain can extract
linguistic information from a sequence of visual symbols. The description of how the brain's …

[HTML][HTML] Disrupted left fusiform response to print in beginning kindergartners is associated with subsequent reading
Dyslexia is a common neurobiological disorder in which a child fails to acquire typical word
reading skills despite adequate opportunity and intelligence. The visual word form area …

Early development of letter specialization in left fusiform is associated with better word reading and smaller fusiform face area
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 …

The transition from vision to language: Distinct patterns of functional connectivity for subregions of the visual word form area
Reading entails transforming visual symbols to sound and meaning. This process depends

The development of orthography and phonology coupling in the ventral occipito-temporal cortex and its relation to reading.
The left ventral occipito-temporal (lvOT) cortex is considered to house the brain's
representation of orthography (ie, the spelling patterns of words). Because letter-sound …
