Laterality for recognizing written words and faces in the fusiform gyrus covaries with language dominance
Language dominance influences lateralization in the middle fusiform gyrus, with left language dominance typically lateralizing for written words and right language dominance for faces.

Parallel spatial channels converge at a bottleneck in anterior word-selective cortex
The visual system can process two words in parallel up to a late stage in the ventral stream, but then transitions to a single channel, limiting word recognition.

Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
Two segregated areas within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex are involved in visual word recognition, with the posterior area responsible for visual feature extraction and the anterior area integrating information with the language network.

Processing of performance‐matched visual object categories: faces and places are related to lower processing load in the frontoparietal executive network than other objects
Face and place stimuli require less recruitment of the frontoparietal network than other visual object categories, reflecting their automaticity and smaller dependence on general capacity limits.

The emergence of the visual word form: Longitudinal evolution of category-specific ventral visual areas during reading acquisition
Reading acquisition in children leads to the emergence of a visual word form area (VWFA) specialized for written words and digits, while other visual categories remain stable.

Privileged Functional Connectivity between the Visual Word Form Area and the Language System
The visual word form area (VWFA) is highly specialized for lexical processing of real words, driven by its preferential functional connectivity with core regions of the language system.
