Visual categorization is thought to occur in the human ventral temporal cortex (VTC), but
how this categorization is achieved is still largely unknown. In this Review, we consider the …

Brain imaging studies reliably localize a region of visual cortex that is especially responsive
to visual words. This brain specialization is essential to rapid reading ability because it …

Despite tremendous variation in the appearance of visual objects, primates can recognize a
multitude of objects, each in a fraction of a second, with no apparent effort. However, the …

How is reading, a cultural invention, coded by neural populations in the human brain? The
neural code for written words must be abstract, because we can recognize words regardless …

Is there specialization for visual word recognition within the visual ventral stream of literate
human adults? We review the evidence for a specialized “visual word form area” and …
