摘要：

In 1892, the French neurologist Jules Dejerine suggested that pure alexia resulted from an occipital lesion that selectively disconnected visual input from a region of the brain that housed "optical images of words." In this issue of Neuron, Gaillard and colleagues offer evidence consistent with Dejerine's proposal and provide new insights to the functional role of the "visual word form area."
