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 …

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

Part of human cortex is specialized for cultural domains such as reading and arithmetic,
whose invention is too recent to have influenced the evolution of our species …

The visual word form area (VWFA), a region systematically involved in the identification of
written words, occupies a reproducible location in the left occipitotemporal sulcus in expert …

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 …

The visual word form area (VWFA) is a region in the left occipitotemporal sulcus of literate
individuals that is purportedly specialized for visual word recognition. However, there is …

Among brain functions, language is one of the most lateralized. Cortical language areas are
also some of the most asymmetrical in the brain. An open question is whether the asymmetry …

In dyslexia, anomalous activations have been described in both left temporo-parietal
language cortices and in left ventral visual occipito-temporal cortex. However, the …

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

A key issue that continues to generate controversy concerns the nature of the psychological,
computational, and neural mechanisms that support the visual recognition of objects such as …
