Fast effortless reading has been associated with the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA), a
region in the ventral visual stream that specializes in the recognition of letter strings. Several …

Developmental dyslexia has been associated with a dysfunction of a brain region in the left
inferior occipitotemporal cortex, called the “visual word-form area”(VWFA). In adult normal …

Multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain the reading difficulty caused by
developmental dyslexia (DD). The current study examined visuo-orthographic processing in …

Dyslexia is a common neurobiological disorder in which a child fails to acquire typical word
reading skills despite adequate opportunity and intelligence. The visual word form area …

The left ventral occipitotemporal cortex is reliably activated by visual orthographic
stimulation and has repeatedly been found underactivated in developmental dyslexia …

Developmental dyslexia is a severe reading disorder, which is characterized by dysfluent
reading and impaired automaticity of visual word processing. Adults with dyslexia show …

Converging evidence from neuroimaging studies of developmental dyslexia reveals
dysfunction at posterior brain regions centered in and around the angular gyrus in the left …

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

The visual word form area (VWFA) in the left ventral occipito-temporal (vOT) cortex is key to
fluent reading in children and adults. Diminished VWFA activation during print processing …

The visual attention (VA) span deficit hypothesis of developmental dyslexia posits that
impaired multiple element processing can be responsible for poor reading outcomes. In VA …
