Delineating the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex is central to advancing
models of goal‐directed cognition. Considerable evidence indicates that specific forms of …

Developmental dyslexia affects up to 10 per cent of the population and it is important to
understand its causes. It is widely assumed that phonological deficits, that is, deficits in how …

Reading is essential in modern societies, but many children have dyslexia, a difficulty in
learning to read. Dyslexia often arises from impaired phonological awareness, the auditory …

The present study was aimed at investigating different aspects of Executive Functions (EF) in
children with Developmental Dyslexia (DD). A neuropsychological battery tapping verbal …

Circuitry in ventral occipital-temporal cortex is essential for seeing words. We analyze the
circuitry within a specific ventral–occipital region, the visual word form area (VWFA). The …

Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder, yet deficits also manifest in the magnocellular-
dominated dorsal visual system. Uncertainty about whether visual deficits are causal or …

The ability to extract visual word forms quickly and efficiently is essential for using reading as
a tool for learning. We describe the first longitudinal fMRI study to chart individual changes in …

Skilled reading requires recognizing written words rapidly; functional neuroimaging
research has clarified how the written word initiates a series of responses in visual cortex …

Combining information across modalities can affect sensory performance. We studied how
co-occurring sounds modulate behavioral visual detection sensitivity (d′), and neural …

Background It is well established that the left inferior frontal gyrus plays a key role in the
cerebral cortical network that supports reading and visual word recognition. Less clear is …
