The paper investigates how eccentricity, not category, organizes infant ventral temporal cortex by showing that collateral sulcus in infants responds more to large stimuli than small ones, without a preference for scenes over letters.

This study finds scene-selective cortical regions in human infants as young as 2-5 months old, before independent navigation experience, suggesting early development driven by visual exposure.

This study uses fMRI to show that toddlers as young as 19-36 months have left frontal and temporal cortex responses to comprehensible language, similar to adults, suggesting early language system development.

This study analyzes 766 awake infant fMRI sessions to identify factors affecting data collection and retention, offering insights to improve future research.

This study investigates how the occipital place area (OPA) represents navigational affordances and ego-motion using dynamic movie stimuli, finding that OPA responds to both cues and their conflicts, unlike PPA and MPA.

The paper investigates neural responses to dialogue and monologue in left-hemisphere language regions, finding no difference in response to dialogue versus monologue.
