Brain imaging studies reliably localize a region of visual cortex that is especially responsive
to visual words. This brain specialization is essential to rapid reading ability because it …

Functional and structural neuroimaging studies of adult readers have provided a deeper
understanding of the neural basis of reading, yet such findings also elicit new questions about …

This review discusses recent cognitive neuroscience investigations into the biological bases
of developmental dyslexia, a common disorder impacting approximately 5 to 17 percent of …

In recent years, three attentional networks have been defined in anatomical and functional
terms. These functions involve alerting, orienting, and executive attention. Reaction time …

Alerting, orienting, and executive control are widely thought to be relatively independent
aspects of attention that are linked to separable brain regions. However, neuroimaging studies …

Recent research in attention has involved three networks of anatomical areas that carry out
the functions of orienting, alerting and executive control (including conflict monitoring). There …

A neural network underlying attentional control involves the anterior cingulate in addition to
lateral prefrontal areas. An important development of this network occurs between 3 and 7 …

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with childhood cognitive achievement. In previous
research we found that this association shows neural specificity; specifically we found that …

Tasks involving conflict between stimulus dimensions have been shown to activate dorsal
anterior cingulate and prefrontal areas. It has been proposed that the dorsal anterior cingulate …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) may be a useful index of
microstructural changes implicated in diffuse axonal injury (DAI) linked to persistent …
