Dyslexia is a complex neurological disorder where the individual has varying degrees of difficulty in processing information. Studies show that the dyslexic brain processes and adapts to information at a rate half of the normal brain. Everyday examples of information would be objects, sounds and peoples’ voices.

“It’s a difference in the brain that’s not about reading per se, but it’s a difference in perceptual learning that’s pretty broad,” Gabrieli added.

MRI’s now show how a brain responds meaning earlier diagnosis.

Professor John Gabrieli of MIT suggests that this shows a decreased plasticity, or ability to learn new things, in the dyslexic human brain. Gabrieli conducted an MRI experiment on young individuals who were both normal and dyslexic, and found that the dyslexic showed a significant difference in cranial response when hearing multiple voices as opposed to only one voice.

Key Takeaways:

1
Those with dyslexia, the brain have the inability to understand to repeated input which is known as neural adaptation.
2
People with dyslexic’s brain activity remains high while listening to a consistent voice and not to multiple voices, showing they did not assimilate well with change.
3
Researchers are beginning to believe that dyslexia affects the entire brain and not only the learning portion.
