This study shows literacy acquisition and functional connectivity drive the development of the VWFA, with literacy increasing word selectivity and connectivity changes linking to reading ability.

This study uses fMRI to show that language networks in young children are distinct from general cognitive networks, with stable connectivity and age-related changes in language responses.

This study uses precision fMRI to examine the VWFA's responses to visual and nonvisual stimuli, finding it primarily functions as a visual orthographic dictionary with unique auditory language processing.

The paper examines reading ability in an individual lacking the left superior temporal lobe, finding no focal word selectivity in the visual word form area but distributed neural coding for orthographic processing.

This study examines neonatal hippocampal connectivity using rsfMRI and finds it immature compared to adults, lacking network differentiation and long-axis specialization.

The paper investigates whether innate connectivity patterns in neonates predict the functional specialization of the visual word form area (VWFA) by comparing its connectivity to language networks.
