Anatomy and physiology of word-selective visual cortex: from visual features to lexical processing
Over the past 2 decades, researchers have tried to uncover how the human brain can extract
linguistic information from a sequence of visual symbols. The description of how the brain's …

Dissociation of reading and naming in ventral occipitotemporal cortex
O Woolnough, N Tandon - Brain, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Lesions in language-dominant ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) can result in selective
impairment of either reading and naming, resulting in alexia or anomia. Yet, functional …

Regional homogeneity as a marker of sensory cortex dysmaturity in preterm infants
Atypical perinatal sensory experience in preterm infants is thought to increase their risk of
neurodevelopmental disabilities by altering the development of the sensory cortices. Here …

Interacting ventral temporal gradients of timescales and functional connectivity and their relationships to visual behavior
Cortical gradients in endogenous and stimulus-evoked neurodynamic timescales, and long-
range cortical interactions, provide organizational constraints to the brain and influence …

Face-selective multi-unit activity in the proximity of the FFA modulated by facial expression stimuli
When we see someone's face, our brain usually effortlessly extracts a variety of information
such as facial identity, expression, or gaze direction. While it is widely accepted that …

Beyond the Visual Word Form Area: Characterizing a hierarchical, distributed and bilateral network for visual word processing
Although the left hemisphere (LH) Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) is considered the pre-
eminent cortical region engaged in visual text processing, other regions in both …

Intracranial electroencephalography and deep neural networks reveal shared substrates for representations of face identity and expressions
According to a classical view of face perception (;), face identity and facial expression
recognition are performed by separate neural substrates (ventral and lateral temporal face …
