The paper compares ERP responses to letters and pseudoletters across EEG and MEG studies, finding delayed and bilaterally processed responses to pseudoletters compared to letters.

This study shows that early neural responses to delta-rate non-verbal auditory stimuli predict reading skills one year later.

The paper uses Bayesian analysis to examine low-γ power in children with phonemic decoding deficits, finding no support for hypothesized effects on left hemisphere power or lateralization, but a left-dominance in RD when attentional deficits are excluded.

The paper uses ERP measures to compare text engagement in middle-schoolers reading digitally versus in print, finding deeper semantic encoding for print texts.

The study investigates how OTS-words subregions respond to text and emoji stimuli during reading and color tasks, finding both prefer emojis over text, with mOTS-words also showing task-specific responses.

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

This study uses MEG and MVPA to show early dissociation in brain activity for number and letter processing, with stronger dissociation in strings than single items.

This study investigates speech production in children with dyslexia, finding atypical amplitude envelopes in multisyllabic speech but normal pitch contours.

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.

This study investigates neural correlates of statistical learning in developmental dyslexia using electroencephalography, finding impaired statistical MMN in dyslexic individuals compared to controls.

This study links neuroanatomical features of the left STG to auditory processing abilities and behavioral outcomes in children with and without developmental dyslexia.

The paper investigates gene-environment interactions between developmental dyslexia risk SNPs and parental education on reading ability, finding support for the differential-susceptibility theory.

The paper examines the structural brain correlates of reading abilities and finds genetic influences on brain-reading associations, highlighting left hemisphere cortical measures as partially genetically driven.

The paper examines phoneme discrimination in newborns with and without dyslexia risk using mismatch responses, finding reduced responses in high-risk infants and links to later language skills.

This study uses 7T fMRI to investigate whether bilingual readers have distinct cortical patches for different languages, finding overlapping but specialized regions for English-French and additional patches for English-Chinese.

This study examines how different tasks affect brain responses to spelling errors, finding task-independent sublexical processes and task-dependent modulation of spelling-specific processes.

This study uses dynamic causal modeling of ERPs in children to show that right hemisphere connectivity correlates with language processing skills.

This study shows that the visual word form area (VWFA) shows task-specific response and connectivity changes during word recognition, distinct from general attention effects.

This study uses data fusion and machine learning to analyze multi-omics and clinical data, finding that ensemble methods outperform traditional techniques in identifying developmental dyslexia with high accuracy.

This study investigates visual orthographic deficits in Chinese adults with reading disability using fMRI and EEG, finding orthographic-specific deficits but normal visual perceptual processing.

The paper examines how word length and frequency affect reading fluency in French 6th graders, finding that fluency impacts the influence of these factors on reading speed.

This study shows that individuals can voluntarily regulate their Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) activity using real-time fMRI neurofeedback, with lasting effects even without feedback.

The paper investigates speech information encoding in children with dyslexia using EEG, finding impaired delta band decoding but no overall difference in speech representation quality.

The paper identifies distinct neural processing patterns in children with dyslexia and Developmental Language Disorder using EEG and speech listening tasks, showing different oscillation dynamics and spatial patterns.

The paper investigates how literacy affects speech processing in Hindi speakers using Devanagari, finding no change in cortical speech responses but increased connectivity between acoustic-phonetic and graphomotor areas.

This study uses a disconnectome method to identify white matter networks critical for reading and predicts lesion locations causing reading deficits.

This study examines lateralization of orthographic processing in fixed-gaze and natural reading conditions using EEG and eye-tracking data, finding consistent left-lateralization in early processing and additional right-lateralization in natural reading.

The paper studies ticker-tape synesthesia (TTS) using fMRI to show that it involves top-down processing of speech into visualized letters, similar to reading, and identifies brain regions involved in this process.

The paper investigates the relationship between arcuate fasciculus lateralization and literacy skills in children with developmental dyslexia, finding adaptive compensation in specific segments.
