Abstract
⺠Word reading can succeed after damage to the left occipito-temporal cortex. ⺠This is enabled by an alternative pathway via the left superior temporal sulcus. ⺠Connectivity analysis demonstrated the existence of this pathway in normal readers. ⺠We hypothesise that this pathway integrates semantics with phonology. ⺠Our work stresses the importance of mapping alternative degenerate reading pathways.
