Check out our new review article summarising how learning to read changes the way our brains respond to speech and text and reorganises the way different brain areas communicate to one another. In this article we give an overview of the brain and behavioural changes that evolve during reading acquisition and provide suggestions for future

We recently published an fMRI paper from the Leeswisnt project exploring changes in brain activation during letter-speech mapping over a three year period in children without dyslexia. Our findings show that reading development is characterized by dynamic changes in auditory as well as visual brain areas, and highlight the specific changes to our understanding and
