Mechanisms of face perception. (2008, background): “What we know about word processing suggests that it too displays holistic properties, and it is localized, interestingly, in the left hemisphere in an almost mirror symmetric location to the position of the FFA in the right hemisphere (Cohen & Dehaene 2004, Hasson et al 2002).”
Illiterate to literate: behavioural and cerebral changes induced by reading acquisition (2015, unknown): “A greater sensitivity to letter order and morphology exists in Hebrew than in English 164,165 — an effect imputed to the presence of compact three-letter roots in Hebrew.”
Functional connectivity of visual cortex in the blind follows retinotopic organization principles (2015, background): “…al., 1997) normally shows a preference towards foveal representations that is related to the need for high-resolution vision during face processing (Hasson et al., 2002), and the PPA (Epstein and Kanwisher, 1998) shows peripheral visual field biases (Levy et al., 2001), presumably because scenes…”
Early lateralization and orientation tuning for face, word, and object processing in the visual cortex (2003, background): “A large number of imaging studies have shown that compared to other objects, pictures of faces activate the occipito-temporal cortex (posterior and middle fusiform gyrus ) bilaterally, with a right hemisphere advantage (e.g., Hasson et al., 2002; Puce et al., 1996; Sergent et al., 1992).”
Reading with sounds: sensory substitution selectively activates the visual word form area in the blind. (2012, background): “This ability helped us test a fundamental question: can the ‘‘visual’’ category selectivity of the VWFA develop in the absence of any visual experience? In sighted subjects, the VWFA is characterized by increased responses to letters as compared to different visual object categories (such as faces, ”
Cultural recycling of cortical maps. (2007, unknown): “Since then, a reproducible organization of activations to houses, faces, and objects has been repeatedly observed, within which words occupy a fixed location (Gaillard et al., 2006; Hasson et al., 2002, 2003; Ishai et al., 1999) (Figures 1A and 1B).”
Origins of task-specific sensory-independent organization in the visual and auditory brain: neuroscience evidence, open questions and clinical implications. (2015, unknown): “Do biased connectivity principle (BCp) and TDFSp exist from birth or do they need to be established during critical/sensitive periods of development? These questions may already be addressed, in that neuroimaging investigations, although very challenging, are starting to be feasible even in fetuses ”
