Literacy development is a process rather than a single event and thus should be studied at
multiple time points. A longitudinal design employing neuroimaging methods offers the …

The left ventral occipitotemporal cortex has been traditionally viewed as a pathway for visual
object recognition including written letters and words. Its crucial role in reading was …

Altered brain connectivity between regions of the reading network has been associated with
reading difficulties. However, it remains unclear whether connectivity differences between …

Are the brain mechanisms of reading acquisition similar across writing systems? And do
similar brain anomalies underlie reading difficulties in alphabetic and ideographic reading …

Efficient reading requires a fast conversion of the written word to both phonological and
semantic codes. We tested the hypothesis that, within the left occipitotemporal cortical …

Although words and faces activate neighboring regions in the fusiform gyrus, we lack an
understanding of how such category selectivity emerges during development. To investigate …

Children with reading disorders present with inaccurate and/or delayed printed word
identification. Regarding visual-attentional processing, printed words are letter strings, and …

According to established cognitive neuroscience knowledge based on studies on disabled
and typically developing readers, reading is based on a dual-stream model in which a …

Blind readers use a tactile reading system consisting of raised dot arrays: braille/⠃⠗⠇. How
do human brains implement reading by touch? The current study looked for signatures of …

Skilled reading requires specialized visual cortical processing of orthographic information
and its impairment has been proposed as a potential correlate of compromised reading in …
