15.4 Asymmetry of the Planum Temporale (Albert Galaburda) |
| | "Dyslexia is genetically inherited, and its cause is biological. According to Albert M. Galaburda[1], Associate Professor of Neurology at the Harvard Medical School, sufficient scientific evidence accumulated in the last decade confirms that dyslexia stems from neurological causes. Proof has been obtained from both anatomical observations of autopsy specimens and imaging studies in living subjects. As Galaburda notes, “Anatomical evidence suggests there are differences in the symmetry of brains of dyslexics, in the specific areas dealing with language. This form of symmetry indicates that the language areas of dyslexics are organized differently and that they probably process linguistic information differently as well.
