Structure of word-selective VOTC. a. Localization of VWFA-1, VWFA-2, FFA-1 and FFA-2 on the cortical surface. Unpublished data from a sample of adult typical readers performing a category recognition experiment. Colored patches denote the location of maximal overlap of individually identified regions transformed to the fsaverage cortical surface with surface-based alignment (Fischl 2012). b. Cortical endpoints of the left arcuate fasciculus (AF), the posterior arcuate fasciculus (pAF) and the vertical occipital fasciculus (VOF, from Weiner et al. 2017b). c. and d. Ventral and sagittal view of VWFA-1, VWFA-2, AF, pAF, and VOF. Data are from an example adult participant. In d, the upper plot shows AF, pAF and VOF superimposed on the participant’s T1 weighted image. The lower plot in panel d shows the AF, pAF, VOF, the inferior longitudinal fasciculus (ILF), VWFA-1 and VWFA-2. e. Schematic representation of VWFA subdivisions and anatomical connections subserving early (150-250ms) and late (300-500ms) word recognition processes.
