| Abstract | Since the first description of dyslexia a century ago, scientists have use a variety of clinical, anatomic, and cognitive tools to understand the language system and the deficits underlying dyslexia. By combining tasks developed to test cognitive theories of language with powerful new technologies like functional imaging, investigators are beginning to identify basic cognitive processes of reading and reading disability and to map them to neuroanatomic loci. These research efforts are not only an attempt to answer basic neurobiologic questions about a cognitive process so important to humans (reading), but also offer an approach for examining the neural correlates of children with dyslexia. |
