Brain Imaging Studies of Reading and Reading Disability

(Visit: seminars.uctv.tv/) Guinevere F. Eden, Georgetown University Medical Center, highlights the importance of distinguishing between cause and consequence of dyslexia. Reading is a cultural invention and has to be learned through explicit instructions, resulting in the utilization of a variety of brain areas that were not designed to read specifically. This presentation will show how brain imaging technology has been used to reveal brain areas that are involved in word processing in typical readers and how these differ in children and adults with reading disability (e.g. dyslexia).

    Outstanding presentation - all my gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Eden's lecture and for UCTV making this available to the YT community on a problem (dyslexia) which is so prevalent in our community. Thank you, Ciao, L
