We test various ways to analyze text-selective response in the ventral occipitotemporal cortex & found that different tasks can be used to localize the same region but that tuning properties differ by task (especially in kids). Also, group-level averaging and template ROIs obscure text response.

#JNeurosci: Stone, @mayayablonski.bsky.social, @jyeatman.bsky.social, @jamielmitchell.bsky.social, et al. found that text-selective regions in the inferior frontal cortex are linked to reading proficiency in children, showing sensitivity to both stimulus and task responses.

My first PhD paper is out! I want to thank my advisors @jyeatman.bsky.social and Ben, and my collaborators (Amy, Adam, @klint.bsky.social , and Clem) and many people (including school partners) who supported this work! Nothing can be more rewarding to see ROAR-CAT helping classrooms every day! 🐈

Small or absent Visual Word Form Area is a trait of dyslexia
Understanding the balance between plastic and persistent traits in the dyslexic brain is critical for developing effective interventions. This longitudinal intervention study examines the Visual Word ...
Happy to announce that my first preprint with @jyeatman.bsky.social and @mayayablonski.bsky.social is live! After 4 yrs of collecting data, we've learned a lot about the potential for and constraints of learning-induced plasticity from this longitudinal reading intervention study shorturl.at/W2UMO

State takes another step toward mandatory testing for reading difficulties in 2025
Districts will have four options for screening instruments to identify reading difficulties among students in kindergarten through second grade.
Some exciting progress being made in the dyslexia world right now. Very proud of my colleagues in Brain Development & Education Lab @stanforduniversity.bsky.social for all their hard work getting the ROAR approved as a dyslexia screener for the state of California.
