The visual word form area (VWFA), a region systematically involved in the identification of written words, occupies reproducible location left occipitotemporal sulcus expert readers all cultures. Such localization is paradoxical, given that reading recent invention could not have influenced genetic evolution cortex. Here, we test hypothesis VWFA recycles ventral cortex shows high degree anatomical connectivity to perisylvian language areas, thus providing an efficient circuit for both...

Efficient reading requires a fast conversion of the written word to both phonological and semantic codes. We tested hypothesis that, within left occipitotemporal cortical regions involved in visual recognition, distinct subregions harbor slightly different orthographic codes adapted those 2 functions. While lexico-semantic pathway may operate on letter or open-bigram information, identification multiletter graphemes such as “ch” “ou” order map them onto phonemes. To evaluate existence...

The transition from pre-reading to early word reading skill in childhood is a time of profound developmental change. To understand changes brain wiring associated with development, this study examined individual differences functional connectivity the network at start formal literacy instruction. Sixty-six kindergarteners (ages 5-6) completed visual processing task during magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Based on standardized assessments, participants were characterized as Pre-Readers...

This study explores the relationship between anatomy of auditory cortex and multilingual experience, shedding light on complex mechanisms processing in humans. Integrating previous research information impact bi- multilingualism brain structure, we investigate how morphology regions reflects individuals’ language experience and, more specifically, their phonological repertoire. Leveraging two distinct samples comprising over 200 participants, each exposed to 1 7 languages encompassing 36...

This study examines whether auditory cortex anatomy reflects multilingual experience, specifically individuals’ phonological repertoire. Using data from over 200 participants exposed to 1–7 languages across 36 languages, we analyzed the role of language experience and typological distances between they spoke in shaping neural signatures multilingualism. Our findings reveal a negative relationship thickness left right second transverse temporal gyrus (TTG) participants’ degree Models...

Musical score reading and word have much in common, from their historical origins to cognitive foundations neural correlates. In the ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOT), specialization of so-called Visual Word Form Area for has been linked its privileged structural connectivity distant language regions. Here we investigated how anatomical relates segregation regions specialized musical notation or words VOT. a cohort professional musicians non-musicians, used probabilistic tractography...

Background and objectives. Motor neglect (MN) is a clinically important condition whereby patients with unilateral brain lesions fail to move their contralateral limbs, despite normal muscle strength, reflexes, sensation. MN has been associated various lesion sites, including the parietal frontal cortex, internal capsule, lenticulostriate nuclei, thalamus. In present study, we explored hypothesis that depends on dysfunction of medial motor system by performing detailed anatomical analysis in...

Irregular word reading has been used to estimate premorbid intelligence in Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. However, models highlight the core influence of semantic abilities on irregular reading, which shows early decline AD. The primary objective this study is ascertain whether serves as an indicator cognitive and AD, potentially discouraging its use a marker for intellectual abilities.

A growing body of literature indicates strong associations between indentations the cerebral cortex (i.e., sulci) and individual differences in cognitive performance. Interruptions, or gaps, sulci (historically known as pli de passage ) are particularly intriguing previous work suggests that these interruptions have a causal effect on development. Here, we tested how presence morphology sulcal left posterior occipitotemporal sulcus (pOTS) longitudinally impact development culturally-acquired...

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOT) is a region crucial for reading acquisition through selective tuning to printed words. Developmental dyslexia disorder of with underlying neurobiological bases often associated atypical neural responses Previous studies have discovered anomalous structural development function the vOT in individuals dyslexia. However, it remains unclear if or how abnormalities relate functional alterations. Methods In this study, we...

Introduction and methods In this PRISMA-compliant systematic review, we identify synthesize the findings of research in which neuroimaging assessments achievement have been used to examine relationships among aspects developmental programming, neurodevelopment, reading mathematics. Results Forty-seven studies met inclusion criteria. The majority examined impact prematurity ( n = 32) prenatal alcohol exposure 13). Several reported a positive correlation between white-matter integrity callosal...

ABSTRACT High-level cognitive skill development relies on genetic and environmental factors, tied to brain structure function. Inter-individual variability in language music skills has been repeatedly associated with the of auditory cortex: shape, size asymmetry transverse temporal gyrus (TTG) or gyri (TTGs). TTG is highly variable shape size, some individuals having one single (also referred as Heschl’s gyrus, HG) while others presenting duplications (with a common stem fully separated)...
