The paper investigates functional lateralization in the human ventral temporal cortex (VTC) using individual differences, finding no local competition between words and faces but evidence of generic local interactions and long-range coupling with social processing.

The paper examines a distributed and bilateral neural network for visual word processing, showing bihemispheric response flexibility and stable connectivity patterns involving the VWFA.

The paper introduces a computational model of primate visual cortex organization that explains domain-selectivity as an emergent property of wiring cost minimization and excitatory connectivity constraints.

This study finds that individuals with ASD show atypical pupillary responses to distractor stimuli, suggesting altered locus coeruleus activity during attentional tasks.
