Neural Responses of the Anterior Ventral Occipitotemporal Cortex in Development...
Rodrigues, Ana Pina; Rebola, José; Pereira, Marcelino; van Asselen, Marieke; Castelo Branco, Miguel de Sá e SousaFor the past 2 decades, neuroimaging studies in dyslexia have pointed toward a hypoactivation of the ventral occipitotemporal cortex (VOTC), a region that has been closely associated to reading through the extraction of a representation of words which is invariant to position, size, font or case. However, most of the studies are confined to the visual word form area (VWFA), while recent studies have demonstrate...
Visual Perception and Reading: New Clues to Patterns of Dysfunction Across Mult...
Rodrigues, Ana Pina; Rebola, José; Jorge, Helena; Ribeiro, Maria José; Pereira, Marcelino; van Asselen, Marieke; Castelo-Branco, MiguelPURPOSE. The specificity of visual channel impairment in dyslexia has been the subject of much controversy. The purpose of this study was to determine if a differential pattern of impairment can be verified between visual channels in children with developmental dyslexia, and in particular, if the pattern of deficits is more conspicuous in tasks where the magnocellular–dorsal system recruitment prevails. Additio...
