Investigating distributed functional connectivity during word and nonword visual recognition
Raina Vin, Marlene Behrmann, Nicholas M. Blauch · Journal of Vision · 2021
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have repeatedly demonstrated that word recognition is associated with activation of the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) in the left hemisphere (LH). We investigate the question: what other regions in both the right and the left hemispheres are engaged in reading, and how do they synergistically interact with the VWFA to enable word recognition?
