On the neural basis of word reading: A meta-analysis of fMRI evidence using activation likelihood estimation

Reading in a deep orthography: neuromagnetic evidence for dual-mechanisms

The temporal dynamics of MEG imaged neuronal activity are focused on, during performance of an oddball version of continuous lexical-decision, to determine whether the onset latency of any cortical language region shows effects of word class that are indicative of preferential versus obligatory processing pathways.

Brain mechanisms of recovery from pure alexia: A single case study with multiple longitudinal scans

Differentiating between networks associated with linguistic processing: A magnetoencephalographic investigation

MEG has been used to differentiate between networks associated with linguistic processing, within the domains of space, time and frequency and suggests that task priming may allow investigation into the neural correlates of semantic and phonological processes in the absence of confounds associated with task demands and the choice of stimuli.

Meta-analyzing left hemisphere language areas: Phonology, semantics, and sentence processing

Testing for the Dual-Route Cascade Reading Model in the Brain: An fMRI Effective Connectivity Account of an Efficient Reading Style

A connective neural account is provided in the aim of accommodating the main principles of the DRC framework and to make predictions on reading skill, suggesting an optimal pattern of cerebral information trafficking which leads to high reading performance.

In cerebro unveiling unconscious mechanisms during reading

Neuro-imaging studies of reading converge to suggest that linguistically elementary stimuli are confined to the activation of bilateral posterior regions, whereas linguistically complex stimuli…

Triangulation of the neurocomputational architecture underpinning reading aloud

Data support the view that reading aloud is underpinned by the joint operation of two neural pathways, and reveal that the ATL is an important element of the ventral semantic pathway and the division of labor between the two routes varies according to both the properties of the words being read and individual differences in the degree to which participants rely on each route.

Exploring a Common Neural Substrate of Reading and Spelling

Investigating whether the cortical region responsible for orthographic processing during reading is also activated during spelling in the same individuals using fMRI showed that the left mid fusiform gyrus corresponding to the VWFA is associated.

Brain mechanisms for reading: the role of the superior temporal gyrus in word and pseudoword naming

It is demonstrated that reading is subserved by at least two brain mechanisms that are anatomically dissociable and depends on the activity of the posterior part of the left superior temporal gyrus (STGp).

A multimodal language region in the ventral visual pathway

These findings agree with the proposal that BA37 is an association area that integrates converging inputs from many regions, and confirm a prediction of theories of brain function that depend on convergence zones.

The Neural Circuitry Involved in the Reading of German Words and Pseudowords: A PET Study

Silent reading and reading aloud of German words and pseudowords were used in a PET study using (15O) butanol to examine the neural correlates of reading and of the phonological conversion of legal…

The Effects of Presentation Rate During Word and Pseudoword Reading: A Comparison of PET and fMRI

These findings replicate the results of the previous PET study, confirming that activation in regions associated with visual processing and response generation increases with the number of stimuli.

Segregating Semantic from Phonological Processes during Reading

Using positron emission tomography, this study identifies the neural correlates of semantic knowledge by contrasting semantic decision on visually presented words to phonological decision on the same words, and associating semantic knowledge with the extrasylvian left temporal cortex and the segmentation of phonology with the perisylVian cortex.

fMRI Evidence for Dual Routes to the Mental Lexicon in Visual Word Recognition

Event-related fMRI was used to investigate lexical decisions to words of high and low frequency of occurrence and to pseudowords, and bilateral occipito-temporal brain areas and posterior left middle temporal gyrus were identified as contributing to the successful mapping of orthographic percepts onto visual word form representations.

Brain mechanisms for reading words and pseudowords: an integrated approach.

Findings are consistent with the existence of two different brain mechanisms that support phonological processing in word reading: one mechanism that subserves assembled phonology and depends on the posterior part of STGp, and a second mechanism that is responsible for pronouncing words with rare print-to-sound correspondences and does not necessarily involve this region but instead appears to depend on MTGp.

Reopening the Mental Imagery Debate: Lessons from Functional Anatomy

A body of recent results indicates that there is no unique mental imagery cortical network; rather, it reflects the high degree of interaction between mental imagery and other cognitive functions.

Functional Neuroanatomy of the Semantic System: Divisible by What?

Results suggest that, within a distributed conceptual system activated by words, the more prominent neural distinction relates to type of attribute, as a function of attribute type.
