A member asked:
I need to know what is the mechanism of occurrence of dyslexia inside the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The major problem in children with reading disability is thought to be a deficit in phonologic processing. Deficits in executive function (eg, short-term memory) may contribute to problems in reading comprehension. Reading disability is not a vision problem.
