This study shows that sign language experience enhances neural representations of hands in visual cortex, even when learned in adulthood.

The paper shows limb-selective regions in the lateral temporal lobe shrink from childhood to adulthood, unlike body-selective regions.

This study explores using real-time representational similarity analysis in fMRI neurofeedback to navigate emotional states, showing feasibility and improved performance with repeated sessions.

This study examines the development of visual evoked responses in infants and toddlers using MEG, finding nonlinear changes in latency and amplitude and associations with fine motor skills.

The paper tracks how distributed category representations in ventral temporal cortex develop over time and links these changes to individual differences in word and face recognition.

The paper shows that during childhood, face- and word-selective regions in the ventral temporal cortex expand while limb-selective regions shrink, indicating cortical recycling of function.

The paper shows that spatial computations in ventral and lateral face-selective brain regions differ, with ventral regions focused on the fovea and lateral regions extending peripherally, linked to distinct white matter connections.

This study shows that splitting fMRI data acquisition into multiple sessions reduces head motion in children and breaks reduce motion in adults, but motion still increases over time in both groups.

This study shows that reading proficiency develops with increased informativeness of distributed left lateral ventral temporal cortex responses to words and characters.
