Reading systematically activates the left lateral occipitotemporal sulcus, at a site known as
the visual word form area (VWFA). This site is reproducible across individuals/scripts …

The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOT) is involved in the perception of visually presented
objects and written words. The Interactive Account of vOT function is based on the premise …

Reading is a rapid, distributed process that engages multiple components of the ventral
visual stream. To understand the neural constituents and their interactions that allow us to …

Face-selective regions (FSRs) are among the most widely studied functional regions in the
human brain. However, individual variability of the FSRs has not been well quantified. Here …

Visual lexical decision is a classical paradigm in psycholinguistics, and numerous studies
have assessed the so-called “lexicality effect"(ie, better performance with lexical than non …

The ventral occipitotemporal (vOT) cortex serves as a core region for visual processing, and
specific areas of this region show preferential activation for various visual categories such as …

Multiple levels of representation are involved in reading single words: visual representations
of letter shape, orthographic representations of letter identity and order, phonological …

Theoretical and computational models of reading have traditionally been informed by
specific characteristics of disabled readers. One of the most frequently studied marker effects …

Abstract Scene‐selective regions (SSRs), including the parahippocampal place area (PPA),
retrosplenial cortex (RSC), and transverse occipital sulcus (TOS), are among the most …

Our perceptual abilities significantly improve with practice. This phenomenon, known as
perceptual learning, offers an ideal window for understanding use-dependent changes in …
