DOI: 10.1016/j.dcn.2021.100958
Abstract: Letters, foundational units of alphabetic writing systems, are quintessential to human culture. The ability to read, indispensable to perform in today’s society, necessitates a reorganization of visual cortex for fast letter recognition, but the developmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.06.007
Abstract: &NA; Despite the left occipito‐temporal region having shown consistent activation in visual word form processing across numerous studies in different languages, the mechanisms by which word forms of second languages are processed in this region… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ejn.15604
Abstract: Identifying the faces of familiar persons requires the ability to assign several different images of a face to a common identity. Previous research showed that the occipito‐temporal cortex, including the fusiform and the occipital face… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0234695
Abstract: When looking at a speaking person, the analysis of facial kinematics contributes to language discrimination and to the decoding of the time flow of visual speech. To disentangle these two factors, we investigated behavioural and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2022.887413
Abstract: Number processing abilities are important for academic and personal development. The course of initial specialization of ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOTC) sensitivity to visual number processing is crucial for the acquisition of numeric and arithmetic skills.… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.50732
Abstract: Is vision necessary for the development of the categorical organization of the Ventral Occipito-Temporal Cortex (VOTC)? We used fMRI to characterize VOTC responses to eight categories presented acoustically in sighted and early blind individuals, and… read more here.
