Auditory working memory impairments feature prominently in schizophrenia. However, the existence of altered and perhaps compensatory neural dynamics, sub-serving auditory working memory, remains ...

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 tasks is a ...

Using direct neural recordings from the visual word form area, researchers were able to see words that patients read as the patients read them. Reading is a relatively modern and uniquely human skill.

Reading is a recent invention in the history of human culture--too recent for dedicated brain networks to have evolved specifically for it. How, then, do we accomplish this remarkable feat? As we ...

Reading is a relatively modern and uniquely human skill. For this reason, visual word recognition has been a puzzle for neuroscientists because the neural systems responsible for reading could not ...
