Summary

Understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of learning difficulties, particularly developmental dyslexia, has received substantial attention since functional MRI and diffusion MRI first became widely available in the 1990s. Now, a couple decades later, there are hundreds of studies documenting differences in brain structure and function in people with dyslexia. Despite vast differences in educational systems, writing systems, and languages around the world, and differences in methodologies and samples across labs, there are at least three points that are broadly accepted.
