Neural Mechanism of Developmental Dyslexia Discovered
Contrary to popular belief, developmental dyslexia is not caused by a structural dysfunction in the cerebral cortex, researchers report. A new study reveals developmental dyslexia is the result of a decrease in white matter connectivity between the mPT and MGB.... Read More...
Difficulties with Audiovisual Processing Contributes to Childhood Dyslexia
A new neuroimaging study reveals tasks that require audiovisual processing are extremely difficult for children with dyslexia. The findings could lead to new tests that help identify the disorder before children fall behind their peers.... Read More...
