Figure 2.
Reduced activation for Chinese and English dyslexics. Top: activation (in white) is shown in the left middle frontal gyrus (LMFG), left posterior middle temporal gyrus (LpMTG) and left occipito-temporal sulcus (LOTs) for the comparison of each of the good reader groups to each of the dyslexic groups. Statistical threshold = P < 0.05 uncorrected to compare all effects. Bottom: parameter estimates for semantic word matching relative to fixation are plotted for each of the regions showing reduced activation for dyslexics compared to normal readers (common to English and Chinese). LANG. = left angular gyrus. See Fig. 3 for details of plots.
