The visual word form area (VWFA) is part of both language and attention circuitry

The visual word form area (VWFA) is part of both language and attention circuitry

The visual word form area (VWFA) is a brain region associated with written language, but it has also been linked to visuospatial attention. Here, the authors reveal distinct structural and functional circuits linking VWFA with language and attention networks, and demonstrate that these circuits sepa...
