In 84 children, the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) was smaller in dyslexia, but its cortical position, between-child spread and white matter tract overlap were unrelated to reading skill.

The paper shows that functional connectivity patterns in reading circuitry precede and predict the emergence of the visual word form area in children with dyslexia after reading intervention.

The paper presents a curated dataset of processed diffusion MRI data from the ABCD Study, showing that specific diffusion metrics are sensitive to adolescent white matter development and robust to image quality variation.

The paper identifies task-agnostic consistency in the location of the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) across individuals but highlights inter-individual variability in its size and anatomical position.

This study examines changes in the Visual Word Form Area in dyslexic and typical readers over time, finding persistent abnormalities despite reading intervention.

The paper identifies three text-selective regions in the inferior frontal cortex linked to reading proficiency in children using fMRI.

This paper evaluates the reliability and validity of Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) for measuring white matter T1 values in children, finding improved reliability with longer scan duration but not B0 correction.

The paper investigates functional connectivity patterns of two subregions of the visual word form area (VWFA) and finds distinct connectivity profiles between VWFA-1 and VWFA-2, with no correlation to reading ability.

The study shows that ventral white matter pathways are involved in morphological processing during oral word production, not just reading, and highlights the importance of sensitive structural measurements.
