Atypical White Matter Connectivity in Dyslexic Readers of a Fairly Transparent Orthography

Atypical structural properties of the brain’s white matter bundles have been associated with failing reading acquisition in developmental dyslexia. Because these white matter properties may show dynamic changes with age and orthographic depth, we examined fractional anisotropy (FA) along 16 white matter tracts in 8-11 year old dyslexic (DR) and typically reading (TR) children learning to read in a fairly transparent orthography (Dutch).
