Abstract
Utilizing a millimeter-scale fMRI technique and individual-based analysis, Zhan and colleagues drew a new cortical map of the visual word form area (VWFA) and examined how it processes diverse languages among different bilinguals. This research advances the current understanding of cortical language organization in the bilingual brain.
