About

Developmental dyslexia is a frequent learning disability. The aim of this study is to analyze cortical thickness and phonological treatment in right handed adults with developmental dyslexia. They are compared to control adults paired with age and laterality. To study phonological treatment, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with a rime judgement task and silent word generation.
