The paper examines the postnatal development of putamen microstructure and white matter connectivity in autism, finding preserved organization with increased prefrontal connectivity.

This study examines the effects of two-week reading training on preschoolers' letter knowledge, decoding skills, and white matter structure, finding skill improvements without significant white matter changes.

The paper examines white matter connections in the ventral temporal cortex of infants and adults, finding they are organized by cytoarchitecture, eccentricity, and category-selectivity from birth.

This study shows that reading instruction in preschool children changes category-selective visual cortex responses without reducing responses to other stimuli.

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 paper finds that in childhood, white matter connections better predict cytoarchitecture than category-selectivity in VTC, but this relationship holds for both in adulthood.

This study examines how word selectivity in visual cortex relates to reading skill, finding that skilled readers show stronger word selectivity over objects.

This study examines the link between phoneme categorization and reading ability, finding a robust relationship that is not fully explained by task difficulty or limited to dynamic cues.
