text: Yo, check it out, let me break it down,
  All writing systems, they hold the crown,
  Representin' spoken language, that's the key,
  Neural studies show how the brain sets us free.
  
  When it comes to reading, different languages unite,
  In the brain, they access areas that shine so bright,
  A common network, perisylvian in its name,
  No matter the system, it's all the same.
  
  But hold up, let's put Braille in the mix,
  We gotta see if it follows the same tricks,
  Using fMRI, we put it to the test,
  Does Braille reading engage the brain's best?
  
  Surprisingly, the networks overlap,
  In the left ventral occipitotemporal rap,
  Both Braille and visual reading hold it down,
  In the cortex, they share the same ground.
  
  But here's the twist, when it comes to speech,
  Blind folks got a different reach,
  They don't tap into that perisylvian flow,
  Speech-reading convergence, it doesn't show.
  
  Instead, they activate vOT, that's the deal,
  For reading and speech, it's a big reveal,
  Blind peeps engage vOT, no doubt,
  It's their modality independent language route.
  
  Functional connectivity, it's got our back,
  vOT's involved, that's a solid fact,
  Speech and reading, they may segregate,
  Different neurons in vOT, they operate.
  
  So there you have it, the science is clear,
  Reading and speech, they differ, my dear,
  In the blind, vOT takes the lead,
  A language network, fulfilling their need.
