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 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.
