Out now in Brain! Using direct cortical stimulation in 49 patients we show distinct regions of ventral temporal cortex that selectively knock out the ability to read or name. Word-selective VWFA can causally and reliably be isolated from other visual language functions. doi.org/10.1093/brai...

A diagram of the ventral surface of the brain, demonstrating distinct regions relating to reading or naming function.

Did you try stimulating the perirhinal area as this has been implicated in semantic dementia?

NICE JOB OSCAR! I asked you this before, but do you think this simulates pure anomia?

Hi, looks interesting :) I don't seem to have access to the article for some reason, would you mind sending it to me? If so, my email is heidasi@hi.is
