New breakthrough: dyslexia and the secret of the visual thalamus
A fascinating breakthrough in research on learning weakness Dyslexia was recently published by an international team of scientists. This team discovered that genetic variants that increase the risk of dyslexia are associated with specific changes in different brain regions. The study based on data from over one million people shows that people with the corresponding genetic characteristics have a reduced brain volume in areas that are responsible for movement coordination and language processing. Surprisingly, it was found that the part of the brain that controls the vision has an above -average volume. These findings come from a study by researchers from the TU Dresden, such as reported.
