   Jun 3, 2013 · The visual word form area—the brain’s letter box— is a small region of the human visual system that systematically activates whenever we read. It shows a stronger activation to words than to many other categories of visual stimuli, such as pictures of objects, faces, or places.

   What is the brain's letterbox?

   • Experts call this region the visual word form area, but in a recent book for the general public, 3 I dubbed it the brain’s letterbox, because it concentrates much of our visual knowledge of letters and their configurations. Indeed, this site is amazingly specialized.

   How did reading & writing evolve?

   • Neuroscientific research has shown that writing text involves the premotor cortex of the brain, which drives manual skills. My theory therefore suggests that reading and writing evolved when our passive perception for discerning things started to interact with manual dexterity.

   How do writing patterns affect the brain?

   • Writing and abstract patterns also activate so-called “mirror neurons” in the brain. These brain cells are remarkable because they fire both when we act and when we observe others acting – helping us identify with and understand others as if we ourselves were acting. But they also fire when we view patterns and see written text.

   Aug 21, 2018 · Most individuals are genetically wired to develop the basic or initial letter and word processing networks to analyze and convert written words into usable meaning. The natural wiring includes three different regions of the brain that individuals use to process written words in meaning (Pugh et al. 2000; Eden, 2004).
