Neuroanatomic basis of developmental dyslexia

A M Galaburda. Neurol Clin. 1993 Feb.

Abstract

This article reviews the known neuroanatomic and neuropathologic bases of developmental dyslexia in the context of some of the functional deficits exhibited by affected individuals. Observations from autopsy brains and experimental animal models disclose problems with cerebral asymmetry, focal developmental disorders affecting the cerebral cortex, and abnormalities in the magnocellular pathway of the visual system.
