- •
Pure alexia is a selective acquired impairment of visual word recognition.
- •
It stems from left temporal lesions affecting the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA).
- •
An alexic patient was scanned 9 times over a period of two years.
- •
We study the mechanisms of reading improvement through letter-by-letter reading.
- •
We demonstrate the role of an alternative occipital route bypassing the VWFA.
