The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (LvOT) is thought to be essential for the rapid parallel letter processing that is required for skilled reading. Here we investigate whether rapid written word identifi
During word and object recognition, extensive activation has consistently been observed in the left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOT), focused around the occipito-temporal sulcus (OTs). Previous studies have shown that there is a hierarchy of responses from posterior to anterior vOT regions (...
we performed direct intra-cranial recordings in a large cohort of humans. This allowed us to isolate the spatiotemporal dynamics of visual word recognition across the entire left ventral occipitotemporal cortex. We found that mid-fusiform cortex is the first brain region sensitive to lexicality, pre...
Reconsidering the sulcal patterning in ventral occipito-temporal cortex in hominoids Historically, anatomists had a difficult time characterizing the sulcal pattern in ventral occipito-temporal cortex in chimpanzees34,57,58,59. Here, we have proposed (seeAppendix) that there are at least five underlyin...

The human ventral occipito-temporal cortex (VOTC) is crucial for visual object recognition. While bilateral or right unilateral VOTC damage can cause a detrimental recognition impairment specific to faces (prosopagnosia, Bodamer1947; see Bouvier and Engel2006; Cohen et al.2019for lesion analysis), a...
Reduced structural connectivity in ventral visual cortex in congenital prosopagnosia.doi:10.1038/nn.2224Using diffusion tensor imaging and tractography, we found that a disruption in structural connectivity in ventral occipito-temporal cortex may be the neurobiological basis for the lifelong impairment in ...
ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOT) during reading. Learning to read increases left vOT activation in response to written words [1,2] and damage to left vOT impairs the ability to read [3–6]. These and other findings have led to ...
Occipitotemporal cortex is known to house visual object representations, but the organization of the neural activation patterns along this cortex is still being discovered. Here we found a systematic, large-scale structure in the neural responses related to the interaction between two major cognitive ...
