Developmental dyslexia is defined by reading impairments that are disproportionate to
intelligence, motivation, and the educational opportunities considered necessary for …

What are the causes of dyslexia? Decades of research reflect a determined search for a
single cause where a common assumption is that dyslexia is a consequence of problems …

As a key area in word reading, the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex is proposed for
abstract orthographic processing, and its middle part has even been labeled as the visual …

Visual acuity can be measured in many different ways, including with letters and Vernier
offsets. Prior psychophysical work has suggested that the two acuities are strongly linked …

While abstractionist theories of visual word recognition propose that perceptual elements
like font and letter case are filtered out during lexical access, instance-based theories allow …

Education sculpts specialized neural circuits for skills like reading that are critical to success
in modern society but were not anticipated by the selective pressures of evolution. Does the …

The left half of a centrally-viewed face contributes more strongly to recognition performance
than the right. This left visual field (LVF) advantage is typically attributed to an untested …

The magnitude of repetition suppression (RS), measured by fMRI, is modulated by the
probability of repetitions (P (rep)) for various sensory stimulus categories. It has been …

Reading is a unique human cognitive skill and its acquisition was proven to extensively
affect both brain organization and neuroanatomy. Differently from western sighted …

Despite intracardiac malformation correction, children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may still
suffer from brain injury. This cross-sectional study was primarily designed to determine the …
