Percent signal change (PSC) for each fROI. Left: inflated surface of an example subject, showing each of their fROIs defined from age 8 data (lFFA in yellow, VWFA in magenta, lPFS in cyan). Top: mean PSCs at age 5 in fROIs defined on age 8 data (registered to 5-year-old brain). Before a child is able to read, there is no selectivity to letters, letter-like stimuli (false fonts) or faces in the region that later becomes the VWFA, while lFFA shows clear selectivity for faces even at this age. Bottom: mean PSCs at age 8. We find clear selectivity for faces in lFFA and clear selectivity for words in the VWFA at age 8 in data not used to define the fROI. Error bars denote standard error. Horizontal bars reflect significant post-hoc paired t-tests (P < 0.05, N=14).
