In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

The right hemispheric lateralization of face recognition, which is well documented and
appears to be specific to the human species, remains a scientific mystery. According to a …

How does education affect cortical organization? All literate adults possess a region
specialized for letter strings, the visual word form area (VWFA), within the mosaic of ventral …

Human performance at categorizing natural visual images surpasses automatic algorithms,
but how and when this function arises and develops remain unanswered. We recorded …

Despite the similarity in structure, the hemispheres of the human brain have somewhat
different functions. A traditional view of hemispheric organization asserts that there are …

Recently, a growing body of data has revealed that beyond a dysfunction of connectivity
among different brain areas in schizophrenia patients (SCZ), there is also an abnormal …

Receptive fields (RFs) processing information in restricted parts of the visual field are a key
property of visual system neurons. However, how RFs develop in humans is unknown …

Understanding the process by which the cerebral hemispheres reach their mature functional
organization remains challenging. We propose a theoretical account in which, in the domain …

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 …

Objective: The objective of this study was to establish whether or not dyslexics are impaired
at the recognition of faces and other complex nonword visual objects. This would be …
